Webinar - Climate Change Adaptation in the Humanitarian Sector: Locally-Led Solutions Under Increased Pressure

Organiser: Climate Charter

The Climate and Environment Charter for Humanitarian Organizations brings together over 530 signatories — local and national NGOs, INGOs, Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies, UN agencies, and government and donor supporters — in a collective commitment to transformative climate and environmental action. Central to that commitment is Commitment 1: to step up our response to growing humanitarian needs and help people adapt to the impacts of the climate and environmental crises.

Over the past year, the Charter Secretariat has developed eight thematic guidance pages as part of the Tools and Resources Platform — a curated knowledge hub designed to help signatories turn commitments into action. These cover themes including Early Warning and Anticipatory Action, Nature-based Solutions, Indigenous and Local Knowledge, Environmental Sustainability, and Climate Action in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Settings.

This webinar marks the launch of the eighth page in the series: Climate Change Adaptation. The signatory community already holds significant adaptation expertise the Charter can help spotlight and connect.

The Charter’s 2026 Signatory survey has also sharpened the focus for this session. It confirms that adaptation is a programmatic necessity for humanitarians, and that the challenge Signatories face is less about whether to adapt but more  about doing so under mounting funding pressure.

Webinar - Monitoring the World's Grasslands and Livestock: A Complete View of Overlooked Landscapes

Organiser: World Resources Institute (WRI)

Grasslands and rangelands blanket much of the planet, sustaining more than a billion people and storing vast amounts of carbon — yet they remain among the hardest ecosystems on Earth to monitor consistently. That is starting to change.

Webinar - Circular solutions to achieve nature targets in banking

Organiser: UN Environment Programme, Finance Initiative (UNEP FI)

Nature loss is increasingly recognized as a material risk for banks, with implications for the resilience of clients, portfolios and the wider economy. As banks work to implement their nature-related commitments under the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB) and align with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, many continue to face a key challenge: translating targets into practical action.

This webinar will mark the launch of UNEP FI’s new Circular Solutions to Achieve Nature Targets guidance, the latest publication in the Circular Economy as an Enabler for Responsible Banking series. The session will introduce a practical framework to help banks operationalize their nature commitments, structured around three ecosystem categories: ocean and marine, freshwater, and terrestrial and land-based ecosystems.

Participants will gain insights into how circular economy approaches can help banks address the root causes of biodiversity loss, mitigate nature-related risks, and unlock new financing opportunities across sectors and value chains. The webinar will also explore priority circular solutions, relevant sectors, and practical actions that banks can take through their policies, portfolios, client engagement and partnerships to contribute to nature-positive outcomes.
