Cities put people first

A city is as resilient as its communities

Cities are strengthening neighbourhoods, supporting families, and reducing pressures that make people less safe in moments of crisis. When communities thrive, cities can adapt faster and recover better.
Cities put equity first

Cities are navigating rising pressures

Cities are adapting to a decade of converging shocks and pressures

Flooding, heat, infrastructure strain and economic pressures are unfolding at the same time, increasing uncertainty for city leaders. Cities are building the capacity to understand danger, strengthen coordination and act quickly so essential services keep running during disruption.
Prepare for uncertainty

Cities protect daily life

Resilience succeeds when it strengthens people’s safety, health and wellbeing

Cities are reducing heat impacts, improving air quality, strengthening emergency response and creating conditions that support healthier lives. By investing in places and services that keep people safe every day, cities build stronger foundations for resilience.

Equitable Cities

A city is as resilient as its communities

This is why at the heart of our mission lies an unwavering commitment to help cities address and rectify the inequities that perpetuate risk and vulnerabilities.
Cities put equity first

Climate Resilient Cities

Resilient cities are navigating the polycrisis era

Withstanding, preparing and adapting to face multiple crises at once requires us to better understand risk and collaborate. As a network built and led by cities, we are building capacity together, breaking down silos, and becoming more agile to adapt quickly to sudden changes.
Prepare for uncertainty

Circular Cities

Becoming cleaner, healthier and just

Cities are creating jobs, reducing emissions, and protecting biodiversity by transitioning into a circular economy. The shift from extractive to regenerative models reduces waste and inequalities and improves our well-being.
