Webinar with Katerina Trostmann and Lubaina Rangwala, World Resources Institute WRI
Date: November 27, 2017, 2 – 3 pm CET
The Urban Community Resilience Assessment (UCRA) is a tool that identifies differentiated needs for resilience planning in urban poor communities and focuses on current and future climate risks. The tool is structured in three aspects – assessing the vulnerability context at the city level, mapping collective community resilience potentials, and assessing individuals’ capacities to respond to climate risks and extreme events. To date, it has been applied in Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Surat (India) and Semarang (Indonesia). This webinar will look at key results from the applications in the cities and discuss how the tool can better capture differentiated needs to inform urban resilience planning.
The scaling up of the application of the UCRA is a funded project of the Joint Work Programme for Resilient Cities, hosted by Cities Alliance.
