Sustainable City by France joins the “Making cities resilient 2030” initiative (MCR2030)

Sustainable City by France is a partner in “Making cities resilient 2030” (MCR2030), an initiative led by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDDR).

It is a global partnership to build resilience at the local level through advocacy, sharing knowledge and experience, building synergistic city-to-city learning networks, providing technical expertise, connecting multiple levels of government, and building partnerships.

With a clear roadmap on urban resilience, providing tools, access to knowledge and monitoring and reporting systems, the MCR 2030 will accompany cities on their journey towards risk reduction and resilience building.

Through this partnership, SCbF wishes to act as a go-between to encourage French local authorities to join and share their experience within the MCR2030 community via the digital platform.

This online platform is freely available and offers a pathway adapted to the different stages of maturity of local authorities’ resilience projects and strategies.

A webinar presenting the platform is organised on Thursday 13 January from 10 to 11.30 am (in English) for all cities and MCR2030 partners.

This session aims to help cities learn how to navigate the MCR2030 platform, understand how they can access services and connect with partners and peer cities.
