To meet the evolving needs of our cities and communities, we have harnessed the collective intelligence of our members to develop this Guide to Updating Resilience Strategies, which aligns with cities priorities, needs and perspectives, drawing upon a wealth of data and insights accumulated over the past decade.
This guide is tailored for member cities seeking to update their Resilience Strategies, providing concise direction and practical methodologies to facilitate the development of resilience strategies. Users of this guide will find practice-oriented direction for the development of the new strategy, examples from different cities, recommended methodologies, and toolboxes with useful resources.
This guide, a compass in the journey of updating a resilience strategy, is made up by the 5 key steps that should be followed through this process:
- Step 1. Set up the team and governance structure.
- Step 2. Build your Stakeholder Engagement Strategy: from stakeholder engagement to stakeholder commitment.
- Step 3. The Resilience Assessment.
- Step 4. Alignment with City Priorities and Global Agendas.
- Step 5. Implement, measure, evaluate and share.
