The Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030) initiative responds to the growing need to boost resilience at the local level. Crises such as COVID-19 and climate change remind us that managing disaster risk is everyone’s business, in which local governments play an instrumental role. Building resilience of local governments through robust risk governance structures and processes is a critical step to ensure that impacts are mitigated and measures are taken at the most localised and disaggregated level.
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Regional Office for Europe, in partnership with ICLEI Europe – Local Governments for Sustainability, invite you to this regional webinar, which sets in motion a decade for city resilience through the implementation of the MCR2030 initiative across the Europe and Central Asia region.
This event brings to light cities at various stages of their resilience journey. The city experiences aim to showcase how, through robust risk knowledge, planning and implementation, city resilience can be strengthened in a spirit of peer learning and partnership central to the MCR2030 initiative.
