This is a recording of a session from the 14th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation to Climate Change (CBA14), which took place online from 21-25 September 2020.

Climate change science requires the assessment of complex nexus issues at the intersection of natural, built and human environments. Resilience planning requires collaboration across disciplines, political boundaries and sectors to address gaps and respond to emerging and current risks from climate change. 

There is considerable need to support knowledge development and capacity building at all levels from science to practice in order to support scaled action on urban resilience while addressing the divide in the educational system itself. Universities are uniquely positioned to mobilise talent, develop knowledge and experience across disciplines and continental divides. Partnerships between universities, community organisations, city governments and the private sector can drive inclusive and resilient urban development.
