PCRIC Discusses Formal Partnership with Risk-informed Early Action Partnership (REAP)

The Risk-informed Early Action Partnership (REAP) was launched at the UN Climate Action Summit in September 2019. It aims to bring together a diverse range of stakeholders from the climate, humanitarian, and development communities to make a billion people safer from disasters by 2025.

Mr. Pankaj Singh, PCRIC’s Finance & Planning Manager, recently met with Ms. Emma Flaherty, the Implementation Lead at REAP, to discuss formalising a partnership between the two organisations. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the SIDS4 Conference in Antigua and Barbuda. This collaboration would enable PCRIC to leverage REAP’s convening power to connect with reputable partners leading the climate change and disaster risk financing efforts. This partnership would grant PCRIC access to a global network of expertise to support their work across the full value chain of Early Warning Early Action interventions.

The plan is to formalise the partnership during the upcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), scheduled to be held in Samoa from October 21st to October 25th, 2024.
