Climate change impacts such as extreme weather events and sea level rise vary greatly between regions, with urban systems particularly vulnerable.

To move towards resilient communities, ICLEI provides targeted guidance and practical tools, and supports cities, towns and urban regions to develop adaptation and resilience strategies and action plans, and to integrate them into statutory planning processes, ultimately improving cities’ ability to safeguard citizens from the consequences of climate change induced, man-made and natural hazards.

ICLEI produces a regular Urban Resilience News update, which informs readers about the latest developments in the field. Subscribe here, and find an archive of past newsletters below.
