Contexto

Climate related disasters undermine sustainable development. Extreme weather events such as storms and gradual stresses like average temperature increases and sea level rise cause massive losses of livelihoods, growth and human life. Cities are hotspots of climate change related risks due to their concentration of people and economic assets. The higher the exposure to hazard and the higher the number of urban poor, the higher is the risk faced by an urban area. In regional comparison, Asian cities feature the largest urban population at risk of coastal flooding.

Objetivos

The overall objective of UCCRTF is to build resilience in 25 secondary cities through improved local capacity, changes in policy and practice, investments and knowledge sharing.
