The second session of The Urban Resilience Series, a 3-Part Special Edition of Cities on The Frontline, titled "Resilience for Communities, with Communities", explored the crucial role of community-driven resilience in addressing the complex climate challenges facing cities today. By examining critical gaps in community engagement, the discussion highlighted the role of private, public, and grassroots actors in advancing equity-focused solutions that amplify the voices of those closest to climate risks.

Building on this, the session also dived into how our understanding of community resilience directly shapes efforts to adapt to increasing climate risks. By highlighting the role of equitable resilience in addressing historical injustices, the panelists emphasized the importance of uplifting under-resourced communities through meaningful engagement and co-design of solutions.

The Urban Resilience Series, a collaboration between Resilient Cities Network and Zurich North America, brings together experts from the private, public, and non-profit sectors to discuss key challenges to urban resilience and explore how strategic collaboration can help accelerate action.
