From 2019 to 2021, ICLEi East Asia co-delivered a series of in-depth training to 4 selected cities/districts in China – namely Ningbo, Chengdu, Shanghai Changning, and Beijing – with UNDRR ONEA-GETI,  to strengthen their capacities on disaster risk reduction, as well as on designing and implementing urban resilience in the context of climate change.

Through the training, the participants were able to apply UNDRR’s Ten Essentials for Making Cities Resilient Scorecard and conduct preliminary assessments of the jurisdictions’ current status in disaster risk reduction and resilient development with the support of leading experts from multi-disciplinary backgrounds.

 

Relevant reports:

• Ningbo gears up to strengthen capacities for disaster risk reduction and resilient cities
