The primary objective of the Third LDC Future Forum is to convene policy-makers, researchers, the private sector, and other stakeholders to share concrete innovative solutions and practical policy recommendations aimed at enhancing the resilience of LDCs. This will contribute towards enabling LDCs to manage and adapt to both current and future systemic shocks. Emphasizing gender equality and the participation of women and girls in these discussions will be key to developing holistic and inclusive solutions.
Overview
High-Level Dialogue
- High-Level dialogue on innovative financing mechanisms and partnerships to promote resilient economies in LDCs
- High-level dialogue on key initiatives to accelerate resilience in LDCs
Four Thematic Sessions
- Thematic session 1: Exploring climate-smart agriculture practices to improve food security and to ensure sustainable agricultural development
- Thematic session 2: Developing comprehensive strategies to bolster resilience through sustainable water management and renewable energy integration
- Thematic session 3: Exploring innovative approaches to promote economic diversification and enhance resilience through circular economy and sustainable industrial practices
- Thematic session 4: Discussion on designing and implementing targeted social safety nets to strengthen community resilience against multiple shocks
Fireside chat: The role of partnerships in enhancing resilience in LDCs
In an era of growing global challenges, partnerships are key to building resilience in LDCs. This session will explore innovative collaboration models that are driving climate adaptation, economic diversification, and sustainable development in LDCs.
Thematic sessions
Thematic session 1: Exploring climate-smart agriculture practices to improve food security and to ensure sustainable agricultural development
The discussions in this session will draw from the following topics: Effective agricultural adaptation strategies for different climate-related disasters (e.g., droughts, floods, cyclones) in various agro-ecological zones; Leveraging emerging technologies to enhance climate resilience in LDC agrifood systems and improve disaster predictions and early warnings; Improving dietary diversity and nutritional status in vulnerable populations, in particular children addressing long-term effects of climate variability on; Overcoming barriers to adopting crop and livestock insurance schemes in LDCs and how to overcome them; and, Best practices and innovative materials for designing infrastructure that withstands multiple types of climate-related disasters; Cost-benefit analyses of investing in resilient infrastructure versus the costs of disaster recovery and reconstruction and; what could incentivize the private sector to invest more in agriculture, including, enhancing women＊s empowerment.

Thematic session 2: Developing comprehensive strategies to bolster resilience through sustainable water management and renewable energy integration
The discussions in this session will draw from the following topics: enhancing resilience to climate risk with an optimal energy mix, including decentralized systems; the role of sustainable energy in enhancing resilience, such as through irrigation and clean cooking; best practices for designing and implementing microgrid systems in rural and remote areas; scaling off-grid renewable energy solutions sustainably in LDCs; Strategies to enhance Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the energy sector; incentivizing the private sector to invest more in energy; innovative water management techniques to mitigate droughts and water shortages; and, support needed for LDCs to achieve clean and resilient energy transitions and access to safe water. Emphasizing the role of women in managing these resources and incorporating gender-sensitive approaches will enhance the effectiveness of these solutions.
Thematic session 3: Exploring innovative approaches to promote economic diversification and enhance resilience through circular economy and sustainable industrial practices
The discussions in this session will draw from the following topics: restructuring supply chains to support circular economy models in LDCs; identifying emerging technologies with the greatest potential to drive circular economy and green industrialization; promoting innovation and technology transfer to facilitate sustainable industrial practices and decrease reliance on commodity exports; assessing how the integration of trade, industrial policies, and technology drive sustainable economic growth and resilience in LDCs and strengthening educational institutions in LDCs to provide relevant training and research in sustainable industrial practices.

Thematic session 4: Discussion on designing and implementing targeted social safety nets to strengthen community resilience against multiple shocks
The discussions in this session will draw from the following topics: identifying best practices for implementing adaptive social protection systems that can quickly respond to different types of shocks; exploring innovative financing mechanisms to ensure the sustainability of social protection programs in the face of multiple shocks; and, extracting key lessons learned from recent crises (e.g., COVID-19) in terms of social protection response and resilience.
