The urban resilience series

Register today for the 1st out of our 3-Part Special Edition of Cities in the Frontline: The Urban Resilience Series Extreme heat, flooding, and tropical storms not only destabilize local economies but also hit vulnerable communities the hardest. As cities begin to plan for and adapt to looming climate risks, the gaps in protection continue to widen. Urban practitioners need solutions that harness the strengths and address the weaknesses of private, public, and grassroots actors to help communities build long-term, holistic resilience. In our session Breaking Down Risk in a Changing Climate our speakers, David Edsey – Climate Director, VP at Zurich North America and Ilaria Giuliani – Chief Resilience Officer for Milan will: – Examine how various stakeholders in urban settings perceive, understand, and respond to climate risk. – Share strategies and practical solutions that enable cities to confront imminent climate threats while ensuring no one is left behind This webinar series is a collaboration between Resilient Cities Network and Zurich North America, aimed at addressing key questions cities must tackle to take action.
