Contexto

Increasing urbanization is one of the key phenomenon of the 21st century. For the first time in history, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities, with around 90 percent of urban growth taking place in developing countries. As cities grow, so does their exposure to natural disasters. The growing frequency and severity of climate change related events are intensifying this risk further, together with unplanned and uncontrolled urban development or the inability of the city to provide adequate municipal services, including emergency response systems, as well as adequate basic infrastructure (such as drainage and sanitation).

Objetivos

The objective of the City Resilience Program is to support city governments in improving their social, physical and financial resilience to adverse climate change events through assessments and diagnostics in policy, infrastructure and finance. The program will enhance the enabling environment and lay the basis for cities to make strategic investment decisions towards building greater resilience. The program supports comprehensive, multisector planning efforts to help cities create the conditions for equitable and sustainable economic growth in the context of rapid urbanization and increasing climate and disaster risks.
