Making Cities Sustainable And Resilient

The project is addressing the challenges identified by support development and implementation of risk-informed local development plans, with a direct relation on increased capacity to deal with the topic and monitoring for improved public services to communities. Effective engagement of a variety of in-country or city level stakeholders will ensure that the action plans are backed up by investments that ideally help in filling the missing technical capacity, contributing to the mainstreaming of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction.

The main solutions will be by having:

• Increased commitments to build local-level resilience from partners;
• Local Resilience and investments measured;
• Key issues and challenges identified in linking early interventions in crisis-prone cities to long-term sustainable development inputs identified;
• Capacity built in cities and local governments to develop and implement integrated local climate and disaster resilience action plans; and
• Crisis-prone cities have enhanced capacity to develop and implement plans to increase their resiliency.

UN-ISDR is our main implementing partner in addition of the four cities under implementation.

 

UN-Habitat is providing substantive support in addition of tools/methodologies for measuring resilience and key recommendation for addressing gaps and weaknesses.
