The Development & Climate (D&C) Days is a two-day digital event providing an online space for networking and exchange, and for honest and open discussions on cutting edge climate work with the goal of enhancing understanding of climate risk and creating accessible and actionable strategies for climate resilience.

D&C Days in 2021 will focus on five pathways to a climate-resilient future providing the backbone to the programme, with conference sessions linked the following themes: 

1. Building resilient agriculture and food systems
2. Early warning, early action to leave no one behind
3. Financing a resilient future
4. Establishing resilient cities and infrastructure, and
5. Working with nature to build resilience

Theme 1 on Building resilient agriculture and food systems - led by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) - will discuss and showcase urgently needed transformative actions within agriculture and food systems. From smallholders to large agri-food businesses, field to fork, climate resilience actions must be just and include the entire food value chain. This theme will explore food governance, locally-led climate and nature-friendly solutions, access to climate finance for the most vulnerable, and risk management capacities for building climate-resilient agriculture and food systems.

The Development & Climate (D&C) Days event is held each year in the middle weekend of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). 

This year's event is free and fully online, so there's no need to attend COP26 to be able to join it!
