Resilient Cities 2017

Resilient Cities 2017, taking place from May 4 - 6, 2017, in Bonn, will explore current and pressing issues for urban resilience and adaptation to climate change, such as climate-related health risks, internal displacement and forced migration, and risk transfer and insurance, as they represent serious challenges where further attention and support is needed. The congress will delve further into these topics, while continuing to track progress on financing resilience, disaster risk reduction planning and policy, as well as mechanisms for measuring, reporting and accelerating action for resilience building. Several WRI experts will speak at the event, including Lauretta Burke, Alyssa Fischer, Katerina Elias-Trostmann and Lubaina Rangwala.
