The IBC on Climate Change and Resilience (IBC-CCR) aims to enable United Nations agencies to work together to support a coherent and aligned implementation of the Global Agendas, including the 2030 Agenda, the UNFCCC including the Paris Agreement, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. This IBC aims to strengthen and streamline inter-agency coordination and UN system accountability on Climate Change, Resilience, and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) at the regional and sub-regional levels.  

The IBC-CCR supports this integrated approach for the implementation of climate change and resilience through joint programming, regional sectorial coordination mechanisms, intergovernmental processes, and knowledge exchange, and upholds the principle of “leaving no one behind” as a core approach that guides its work.

Notably, the group also serves as an entry point for the UN system at the regional and country levels to access general technical support on Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction, and Resilience from the region, considering as well the need for an inclusive and green COVID-19 recovery.
