Short description:Interested in how cities can thrive despite challenges? The Summer Institute 2025, „The Resilience X-Factor of a City,” will explore how cities can become more resilient by:
→ Understanding and strengthening urban resilience: We’ll examine how cities can prepare for and recover from environmental, social, and economic shocks.
→ Addressing shocks: Learn how cities can anticipate and respond to various challenges.
→ Assessing impacts: Understand how to measure the effects of shocks on urban areas.
→ Fostering adaptation: Discover strategies for cities to adjust to changing conditions.
→ Enabling mitigation: Explore ways to reduce the impact of future shocks.
→ Driving improvement: Learn how to build back better after a crisis, creating more sustainable and resilient cities.
In our increasingly complex world, cities need to adapt and bounce back stronger. This program will give you insights into mitigating risks, responding to diverse shocks, and rebuilding cities as resilient, modern, and sustainable urban hubs. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the factors that contribute to urban resilience and how proactive adaptation can minimize negative impacts.
Impact: The knowledge gained during the Summer Institute 2025 will contribute to the global conversation at the COP30 Climate Conference in Belem, Brazil.
