Welcome address

Ashok Sridharan, Mayor, City of Bonn, Germany; ICLEI Special Messenger to UNFCCC and carbonn Registry

Gino Van Begin, Secretary General, ICLEI- Local Governments for Sustainability Aligning urban resilience efforts and the post-2015 global frameworks Local governments have been officially recognized in the he Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) and the Paris Agreement (UNFCCC). What does this mean for local resilience efforts and governance structures? How can we build on existing programs and resources in support of the post-2015 targets? How can we connect these efforts to the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 11 to “Make cities inclusive, safe, and resilient”? Making cities safe, inclusive, resilient and sustainable Following on from the introduction, speakers will then discuss two key themes related to SDG 11:

1) how achieve an equitable urban future through participatory, inclusive approaches; and 2) how to support capacity-building in local governments to prioritize investments, develop

bankable projects, and to secure and manage funding for resilience. Adaptation and resilience on the ground The plenary will conclude with examples of local resilience from Europe and Asia. Participants will hear findings from a new report launched at Open European Day on the state of adaptation in Europe. Next, local government representatives from Asia will reflect on resilience planning in their cities, providing a preview to the 2016 City in Focus and Reality Check Workshops.

WORKSHOP

Adaptation on the ground: Can Tho

and Da Nang cities, Vietnam

Organized with the

International Development


Facilitator: Quynh Anh Nguyen, Research Fellow, National Institute for Science and Technology Policy and Strategy Studies, Hanoi, Vietnam Speakers:

Quang Vinh Ky, Director, Can Tho Climate Change Coordination Office, Can Tho City, Vietnam

Minh Quy Phan, Coordinator, Da Nang Climate Change Coordination Office and Project Coordinator of the 100 Resilient Cities project, Da Nang City, Vietnam

Thi Yen Nhi Nguyen, Urban Planning Official, Da Nang Department of Construction, Da Nang City, Vietnam

Summary: The aim of this workshop is to present and discuss the emerging climate risk related issues in the coastal cities of Da Nang and Can Tho, Vietnam and to get input from cities facing similar challenges. Can Tho is currently facing the most severe drought and saline intrusion seriously impacting the city and the surrounding agricultural area that services the city. The combination of these two stresses threatens to exceed the ability of social-ecological systems to adapt, if there is no appropriate short and long term response regarding water management. Da Nang is vulnerable to acute shocks such as storms, floods and droughts. Intense and unpredictable typhoons, frequent floods and droughts are associated with substantial losses. Despite its achievements in urbanization, there remain problematic issues in urban planning, flood control and urban drainage in the city of Da Nang. Both cities had completed vulnerability assessments and developed their own Climate Change Adaptation Plans. However, up to this date, there is not enough knowledge on how to address slow-onset hazards, such as

droughts and salinity intrusion under a changing climate and how to effectively plan and implement flood management in old city areas where urban planning did not address climate change effects. Organized in cooperation with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC)

Summary: This highly interactive panel and discussion session will focus on how to create an enabling environment for private sector as well as community and citizen-level engagement in climate-compatible development. Taking in a wide range of experience from CDKN and ICLEI projects in developing countries, panelists and audience members will explore some of the strategies that have been successfully deployed to forge Public Private Community Partnerships for renewable energy development, low carbon transport systems and sustainable coastal management. This session will draw upon the first-hand experience of CDKN, ICLEI, and city partners in coastal Belize; in Pakistan’s industrial heartland; and in Bogor, Indonesia. It will also share the findings of a comparative research project that looked at a range of incentive schemes for attracting private and community investment in energy efficiency, renewables and climate-proofing in cities.

Exhibition

The Resilient Cities 2016 Financing Resilience Forum will also be the platform to follow up the Transformative Actions Program (TAP) launched in 2015 at the COP21 as the result of an inclusive and cooperative effort by networks of local and subnational governments to accelerate implementation of climate action of local and subnational governments. One of the program main aspects is to increase the capacity of cities to develop feasible, inclusive and bankable resilience proposals ranging from actions for climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and pro-poor urban development. TAP also aims to increase the visibility of projects with potential funders and implementation partners, facilitating improved access to resilience finance and contributing to the elaboration of new finance mechanisms. Some of the TAP projects will be exhibited during the Resilient Cities 2016.

DISCUSSION

Investing in urban resilience: Making cities and the urban poor more resilient

Facilitator: Josef Leitmann, Team Leader, Urban Resilience, GFDRR/ World Bank, Washington DC, USA Summary: Presenting The World Bank's City Resilience Program. Stresses and shocks remain among the greatest threats to urban poverty reduction and shared prosperity. These risks include natural, technological and socio-economic hazards, and a single event alone has the ability to turn back decades of progress. Worse, with urbanization, these shocks and stresses can multiply through the physical, social and economic fabrics of society embedding the impacts in a city’s long-term opportunities for development. Reducing the social, economic and physical impacts of urban risks is at the core of the World Bank's new City Resilience Program and has increasingly become a primary component of development practitioners across the world.
