Mexican RC, Colombian RC, Dominican RC
Between July 14 and 18, Veracruz became a meeting point for the National AVCA Workshop with a Climate Focus, led by the Mexican RC and joined by the Colombian RC, the Dominican RC, and IFRC’s CREPD. More than 15 national delegations actively participated in technical sessions, participatory exercises, and working groups aimed at integrating the climate dimension into vulnerability and capacity assessments. Teams worked alongside locally led approaches to co-design Resilience Pathways that respond to community priorities and knowledge. The exchange of experiences and tools strengthened national and subnational capacity to anticipate climate impacts and plan adaptation and risk reduction actions. This effort is supported by the Zurich Foundation (ZCRA) under the Climate Resilience Project and reaffirms the importance of community participation as a driver of sustainable solutions.
