Einstein x Robert Bosch Academy: Reaching the hard-to-reach. Scaling innovative climate solutions in fragile and conflict-affected contexts

As the climate crisis intensifies, its impact is felt most acutely in regions already vulnerable to conflict and socio-economic fragility. Yet these countries receive the least climate financing. In the face of increasing crises and shrinking public aid budgets, innovative, scalable solutions that address the specific contexts of climate-vulnerable, conflict-affected communities are needed more than ever. The complexity of the climate crisis necessitates a collaborative approach between governments, the private sector, civil society, local communities, and activists. Germany, as a key diplomatic player and one of the world’s leading climate donors, is uniquely positioned to lead these critical discussions.

Together with a select group of representatives from government, business, media, think tanks, media and civil society, we will explore how cross-sectoral cooperation and innovative, scalable solutions can ensure climate-vulnerable, conflict-affected communities are not left behind in the lead-up to COP29 and the global response to the climate crisis.

This event will take place in cooperation with the International Rescue Committee Deutschland.
