Please note that the event will take place in person at the Eleventh Session of the World Urban Forum in Katowice, Poland. To access the venue the accreditation for the WUF 11 is required. Register here for the MCR2030 event.Local governments can reduce the impact of disasters, protect hard-earned local development gains, and enable cities to become more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. As current challenges range from the ongoing climate emergency, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other shocks and stresses, resilience-building can no longer be a stand-alone issue. It must take into consideration the inter-dependencies between sectors, the interconnectedness of socio-economic factors, the complexity of hazards, and their systemic nature. Understanding and assessing risks, both existing and potential ones, must become an integral part of urban development.The Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030) initiative is a 10-year global partnership to accelerate local resilience. MCR2030 provides a clear 3-stage Resilience Roadmap guiding cities towards taking a long-term and continuous approach to resilience investments from awareness-raising to enhanced strategic planning and a whole-of-society approach to implementation.Organized by UNDRR in collaboration with UNDP, UN-Habitat and GIZ, this session provides insights on various approaches that cities can take for developing a risk-based decision-making process that helps make urban development more sustainable and resilient. It will show examples of how the MCR2030 Resilience Roadmap and risk-informed development approaches advanced by UN entities and partners helps to create synergies to support cities in mainstreaming risk-informed development.
