Between 2019 – 2020, EAS co-hosted two workshops for two Chinese cities to raise awareness of urban resilience with specific focuses on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction among local officials. The workshops were structured in sessions of concept and tools introduction. Assessments of local resilience were also conducted via group exercises followed by suggestions on improvements. EAS and UNDRR continue to work to support more local governments in China in implementing the Sendai Framework and other urban resilience objectives via workshops, now more likely online due to COVID-19. It is expected that local disaster risk reduction planning will be especially meaningful at times like these, and that via this training cities would be better equipped with skills to assess their respective risks, identify gaps, and ultimately lead to projects to address those gaps. A learning publication will be produced as the final output of the series, to share lessons learned on improving urban resilience in the context of global warming with other cities.
