Cities are increasingly facing climate-related disasters, environmental degradation, and social inequalities, highlighting the urgent need to build resilience and integrate risk reduction into their sustainable development strategies. Recognizing cities as frontline actors in disaster mitigation, a consortium including AIT RRC.AP, UNDRR, UN-Habitat, UCLG, and ICLEI has partnered to support the Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030) initiative—a 10-year global effort to strengthen urban resilience. Through series of thematic webinars and peer learning, the initiative promotes new tools, approaches, and city experiences to enhance preparedness, with special focus on how the climate crisis intersects with education, health, and inclusive urban development.

 

This webinar aims to accelerate local resilience by sharing experiences, best practices, and innovative approaches to disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation.

 

Target Participants: City and local government officials, UN agencies, international non-governmental organizations (INGOs), civil society organization officials, urban planners, disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation experts, practitioners, and academia.

 

Please join us in strengthening urban resilience to climate and disaster risks by sharing knowledge, best practices, and solutions for cities in the Asia-Pacific region.
