This document provides an introduction and objectives for a meeting on mobilizing finance for resilience. The objectives are to learn from each other, create new knowledge on scaling development efforts toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals, create a report to share this knowledge, learn collaborative tools, and help case study regions advance quickly. Introductory remarks discuss investing in resilience and climate risks, a more stable finance system investing in the real economy, and the role of data and systems modeling in facilitating incremental to transformational change, from siloed to collaborative work, and from lowest cost to performance-based approaches.
