Our Objective

Background

Looking beyond 2020, there is an urgent need to accelerate the progress of resilience building at the local level, to bring cities on to the resilience pathway towards achieving the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the New Urban Agenda, the Paris Agreement, and the Sustainable Development Goals, by 2030. There is also a need for more innovative training and capacity development models, approaches, tools and methodologies for the successful implementation of measures to enhance disaster resilience at the local level specifically at the Asia and Pacific region where the population density is high.

Webinar on “Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030): Cities and Partners Engagement in Asia and the Pacific” is organised by the Regional Resource Centre for Asia and the Pacific located in the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT RRC.AP) in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI), the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC).
