Our specialised initiatives
MEA Climate Action Hub
From local climate challenges to coordinated, practical action.
MEA Climate Action Hub brings institutions, businesses, experts and communities together to address defined climate challenges. Working from local evidence and priorities, the Hub helps partners design and test coordinated responses to emissions, climate risks and resource pressures, and build the capability to carry them forward.
The challenge
Climate challenges often cross sectoral and institutional boundaries. Cities, communities and organisations may have the knowledge to identify problems, yet need a common process that links evidence, decision-makers, implementation capacity and resources around practical interventions.
Where we focus
Locally defined climate challenges.
Start with a clear problem identified by a local institution or group of partners, grounded in the place, sector and communities concerned.
Evidence-led climate responses.
Connect emissions information, climate risks and resource pressures with options for mitigation, adaptation and greater resilience.
Partnerships for action and learning.
Bring together implementation partners to co-design practical interventions, test suitable approaches and share results that can inform future action.
The Studio Way in practice
Understand
—Frame a climate challenge and identify useful local evidence.
Connect
—Convene challenge owners, affected groups, technical specialists and delivery partners.
Co-design
—Develop response options, delivery roles and measures of success.
Test & Learn
—Trial an appropriate intervention and assess practical results.
Enable
—Equip partners with knowledge, coordination and capacity to continue or adapt the response.
What progress looks like
A defined local challenge moving into coordinated action, usable evidence on what changed, improved local implementation capacity and learning that can inform other places or sectors.
Bring a climate challenge into shared action.
Connect with the Hub to explore locally relevant climate responses and the partners needed to develop them.
