Resilient communities and cities initiative
This short report introduces ICLEI’s Resilient Communities & Cities Initiative, which is aimed at mainstreaming disaster resilience in the planning and decision-making processes of local governments. Its goal is to make local governments to work with their local communities and stakeholders to develop and implement Local Resilience Agendas for communities to be able to reduce their vulnerability to extreme events and anticipate and respond creatively to economic, social, and environmental change in order to increase their long-term sustainability.
