With many Commonwealth countries on the frontline of climate change, the Commonwealth Climate Resilience Network is working to build resilience within universities and their wider communities.
Established in partnership with Fiji National University (FNU), the University of the South Pacific (USP) and the University of the West Indies (UWI), the network links universities directly affected by climate change with those that have expertise in building resilience.
Through the sharing of knowledge and best practice, the network helps to directly address the practical needs of universities and communities, while providing a platform for universities to connect with policymakers and develop effective approaches to resilience and disaster preparedness.
