More Info

Cities in USAID partner countries face increasingly intense and complex shocks and stresses, with causes and impacts that cut across traditional programming areas. Further, as cities continue to grow, more investment is needed to reduce the impacts of climate shocks and stresses, but financing for urban adaptation in particular lags far behind the need. Fortunately, there are opportunities to integrate approaches and actions into USAID programming that will bolster the resilience of communities, cities and countries while also improving outcomes across a variety of sectors. This webinar will feature USAID’s new Urban Resilience Technical Guidance that aims to help staff better understand urban resilience and provides evidence-based, practical guidance on how it can be applied to Agency programming. The webinar will also discuss the urban adaptation financing gap and approaches to increase funding for urban climate adaptation and resilience.
