United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction with the support of European Commission, IBM, AECOM and other partners and cities participating in the Making Cities Resilient Campaign have updated the Disaster Resilience Scorecard for Cities.

The Scorecard provides a set of assessments that will allow local governments to monitor and review progress and challenges in the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction: 2015-2030, and assess their disaster resilience. It is structured around UNISDR’s Ten Essentials for Making Cities Resilient.

One of the main concerns of market traders all around the world is fire, usually followed by sanitation. Lessons learned from participatory planning exercises with market vendors in Durban, South Africa has informed the development of this Participatory Hazard Mapping Tool for Informal Markets.

The Interactive Resilient Africa Online Decision Support Tool forms part of a six step program that has been developed in con-junction with Local African governments with the sole purpose of assisting in the creation and implementation of adaptation plans in order to address the relevant climate change impacts currently faced by the specific local communities.

The ICLEI ACCCRN Process (IAP) enables local governments to assess their climate risks in the context of urbanisation, poverty and vulnerability and formulate corresponding resilience strategies. It draws on the experiences from the ten core ACCCRN cities (see www.acccrn.org) and existing ICLEI approaches and has been applied in a range of cities in Indonesia, Bangladesh, the Philippines and India.
