UNISDR Training series on ‘Making Cities Resilient’

ACTIVITY INFORMATION
What we did

Cities in Chinese Taipei face serious water issues all year round. Cities on the island have to tackle the drought until May and then respond to the flooding seasons from May to November. All evidence has shown that the influences of climate change leads to more extreme weather, both in frequency and strength. As a result, cities have a strong motivation to undertake a more resilient city building framework. “Disaster resilience scorecard for cities” developed by United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) provides a set of assessments that allow local governments to monitor and review progress and challenges in the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction: 2015-2030, and assess their disaster resilience. It is structured around UNISDR’s "Ten Essentials for Making Cities Resilient."""

What we achieved

ICLEI and its local partner International Climate Development Institute (ICDI) deliver three training events that teach local stakeholders how to improve resilience mechanisms under the UNISDR frameworks; how to ensure the life quality in order to achieve Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) from social, environmental and financial perspectives, by implementing the “Disaster resilience scorecard for cities;” and how to enhance and introduce new technology in DRR and resilience to start new business models in the related industry. The trainings include lectures and facilitation of group presentations and discussions.
