China Resilient Cities Report

China Resilient Cities Report integrates the introduction to global framework and ICLEI experience of building resilient cities, analysis of practices conducted in Chinese cities, and exploration on how to build resilient cities in China with a focus on ‘climate resilience’. In partnership with United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and other distinguished actors, during year 2019 to 2021, ICLEI East Asia Secretariat closely worked with four project cities in China, to implement a series of training workshops promoting the ‘Making Cities Resilient’ Campaign (followed by the ‘Making Cities Resilient 2030’ initiative since 2021). Training workshops are rooted in the practical work in China around urban disaster risk reduction and emergency management, covering topics like climate change, climate mitigation and adaptation, climate investment and financing, and Nature-based Solutions.
