Talking points:
A partial list of 1BC engagement so far:
The 1BC will deliver value to its partners, the RCRC Movement, communicates, households and individuals, civil society and the public sector along seven lines:
To fully realize the goal, it will require a full partnership of actors, including us, the IFRC.
The IFRC, with its strong presence in 190 countries and a local presence in 60,000+ branches, is adequately positioned to be the convener of this united effort.
In addition to our mission and values, the Red Cross and Red Crescent has the following attributes which lend value and credence to the One Billion Coalition for Resilience.
The largest humanitarian network in the world: our footprint is un-match
Auxiliary role to government: privileged relation with decision makers for dialogue, advocacy and influencing
One of the world’s best known and trusted brands
Actions are delivered by volunteers: make us more cost effective and, in theory, well placed to drive the initiative
Part of local communities before, during and after disasters: presence, knowledge and sustainability
In short: the RCRC is a neutral and impartial actor, known and trusted by the local communities.

6. WHO’S ONBOARD?
The Harvard Humanitarian Initiative will join the 1BC team in support of developing a composite resilience index
Linklaters, a global leader on governance, risk mitigation and management consulting is developing with 1BC options to ensure good governance, a legal framework and risk management strategy

Talking points:
The 1BC will deliver value to its partners, the RCRC Movement, communities, households and individuals, civil society and the public sector along seven lines:
Impact: Through collaboration and integration of efforts, the collective impact of the 1BC participants will be greater than the sum of the parts.
Scale and mutual support: The 1BC will utilize the 17 million registered volunteers, 165,000 branches and access to government of the Red Cross Red Crescent network to support the work of coalition members.
Access to the last mile: The 1BC is able to engage communities, households and individuals to serve the last mile and reach the most difficult places.
Locally relevant support:  Communities identify their own needs and take action based on their priorities. The nature of the 1BC activities is viral and easy to adopt, so participation will quickly multiply.
Access to resources: The 1BC provides communities direct access to a selection of local and global resilience service providers to address their needs. Similarly, service providers who wish to target a certain issue will have a clear understanding where they are needed.
Recognition, inspiration and inclusivity: Members of the coalition will be counted, incentivized and their contribution recognized, and the  ambitions of the 1BC will inspire and provide a larger sense of community for those involved. The 1BC is open to all organizations and individuals who wish participate. There are no minimum requirements of funding, time or resources.
A network and referral system: The 1BC connects resilience service providers, communities and individuals to the networks of its members, including the RCRC Movement. The 1BC supports top down, bottom up, and lateral information flows and will promote efficiency.
Potential partners may contribute towards or benefit from one or all of the six resilience capitals: financial capital, human capital, natural capital, physical capital, social capital, and governance systems.
