UN Framework Convention on Climate Change

As Mayor of Bonn, Germany’s United Nations City, I extend a warm welcome to the participants of Resilient Cities 2015!Established in 2010, this conference has become the leading platform for city representatives and experts to discuss and advance urban resilience and climate adaptation on a global scale. Furthermore, city representatives have walked their talk and have answered a strong need in the Asian region by organizing the first edition of “Resilient Cities Asia-Pacific” in Bangkok this February.

Resilient Cities 2015 will set milestones in a year of challenges and emerging new agendas. For the first time, the congress will run parallel to the meetings of UNFCCC, opening up new opportunities for dialogue and cooperation. In the run-up to Paris, we are following up on the outcomes of Sendai and orienting ourselves towards Quito.

Being home to the ICLEI World Secretariat, Bonn has actively supported Resilient Cities from the very beginning. Our city is a UN hub and platform for sustainability with a tradition of integrating structural and sectoral divisions in favor of a holistic approach. The challenge of climate adaptation has gained priority over the past five years, which is visible in the increasing number of signatories to the Durban Adaptation Charter.

I am looking forward to being inspired by some fresh thinking from all over the world and I thank you for your company and cooperation on the road to Paris, Quito and beyond!

This year is a banner year for the future of growth and development. In 2015, governments will rally around a set of aspirational sustainable development goals and adopt a new, universal climate change agreement in December in Paris. The new agreement is a blueprint for meeting the environment and economic challenges of climate change and will chart the course to a prosperous, more livable future for cities around the globe.City governments are already injecting much-needed momentum into the process to agree to a strong and long-lasting climate agreement.One look at the NAZCA portal at climateaction.unfccc.int shows hundreds of cities already acting to safeguard the health and wellbeing of their communities by reducing climate risk.City leadership often comes through innovative policy that directly benefits people. Clean energy is good for air quality. Efficient transit is good for mobility. Climate smart resource management is good for public health. Resilient infrastructure is a good way to keep the wheels of the global growth engine turning.These good city policies and practical solutions are also an essential part for climate action that helps bend the emissions curve downward this decade, deeply decarbonize the global economy, and achieve full climate neutrality this century. Climate action by cities is part of the critical path to achieve our long-term goals and adapt to the climate impacts we know are coming. It is also key to implementing the outcomes of the Paris agreement. We must build on the current leadership of cities – at last year’s Climate Summit in New York, at the ICLEI World Congress this year, and online on the carbonn Climate Registry and NAZCA portal – and showcase the power of cities to open a sustainable, climate-safe future for all. Resilient Cities 2015 is your opportunity to mobilize greater climate action and greater support for a dynamic climate change agreement that helps keep your people and your economies healthy.Paris is famously the City of Light. This year all cities not just Paris have an opportunity to shine light on how climate action is not just a course of action, but the course of action we must take to keep cities growing and vibrant for generations to come. I applaud the work by ICLEI, the World Mayors Council on Climate Change, the City of Bonn and the many partners that make this meeting possible. And I look forward to seeing innovative policies and partnerships that inspire even more action on climate change.

Margareta WahlströmSpecial Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction, United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR)

This year’s Resilient Cities congress comes at a key time for promoting urban resilience and adaptation as the international community is shaping the post-2015 development agenda. Earlier this year, in Sendai, Japan, Member States adopted the “Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030,”a new global agreement that will chart the course of the disaster risk reduction work for the next 15 years. For the first time, the Sendai Framework sets global targets for substantial reductions in disaster losses. Just as important, it provides guidance on how to move from managing disasters to managing disaster risk posed by both natural and man-made hazards.

This is crucial in an age of rapid urbanization when the benefits of city living must be weighed against the risks. The breadth and range of the Sendai Framework’s seven targets and four priorities for action have helped to open a new chapter in sustainable development by forging clear links between disaster risk reduction, urban resilience, development financing, sustainable development goals and the forthcoming new agreement on climate change. The framework specifically acknowledges the role of local governments.

The World Conference also saw the adoption of the Sendai Declaration of Local and Subnational Governments, “Ensuring Enhanced Resilience to Disasters in the Urban World”, in which they committed to actions in line with the new framework. Urban communities can draw inspiration from the role models among the over 2,500 cities and towns - with a combined population of 700 million - that participate in the UNISDR Making Cities Resilient Campaign launched five years ago.

I welcome that this year’s Resilient Cities congress will demonstrate how urban settlements are working to become more inclusive, safer, resilient and sustainable habitats in the present and future. It provides a practical opportunity for cities and stakeholders to learn from each other, expand knowledge of particular crucial aspects relevant to cities such as finance and food systems, as well as forging partnerships and further showcasing good practices in urban resilience and climate adaptation strategies at the local level.

I would like to congratulate and thank ICLEI, the World Mayors Council on Climate Change and the City of Bonn for organizing this meeting once again, and I look forward to the outcomes it will produce.

Extreme weather and disasters brought on by unprecedented changes to our global climate threaten the lives and livelihoods of many citizens. Against this backdrop, it is time for cities of all sizes to make a bold shift in their approaches to development. Mitigation must be combined with forward-looking adaptation designed to convert climate change challenges into urban development opportunities.

In this spirit, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Resilient Cities, the annual meeting place for local governments, international experts, and engaged citizens to explore these challenges and opportunities. Seoul Metropolitan Government has been a frequent participant in the congress, sharing lessons from our One Less Nuclear Power Plant policy and benefiting from a lively exchange with the Resilient Cities network. This year, I am especially proud to welcome you for the first time as ICLEI President!

Seoul is committed to becoming a role model of sustainability and resilience in preparation for the new post-2020 climate regime. At the ICLEI World Congress in April, we announced the ‘Promise of Seoul: Taking Actions against Climate Change’, a vision for integrated climate action co-designed with citizens, business, and the city government. The strategy covers all areas including energy, transport, resource recycling, water, ecology, urban agriculture, health, safety, disaster risk reduction and urban planning with specific actions, indicators, and targets for 2020 and 2030. It is an effort to positively change the lifestyles of 10 million citizens while living up to the city’s reputation as an environmental capital.

We invite all cities to join in the cause and demonstrate the power and possibility of sustainable, resilient urban development. With a focus on implementation, including solutions for financing and communicating resilience, I hope Resilient Cities 2015 will serve as an incubator for new ideas and commitments to advance this collective goal!

Program Overview

Welcome to the 6th Global Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation! 2015 is exceptional as a year that will define the direction of global development for decades to come. Local governments are key players in the ongoing negotiation and implementation of these agreements and the stakes could not be higher. Climate change, disasters, poverty, and inequality are global problems, but ones that come with highly localized consequences. Fortunately, local governments are leading the way toward integrated climate action. At Resilient Cities 2012, JoAnn Carmin (MIT) reported on a survey of 468 cities, in which half of respondents (57%) were in the initial stages of adaptation planning. Two years later, 73% respondents to a follow up survey had climate action plans addressing both mitigation and adaptation. In the same year, over 780 adaptation actions were reported by 185 cities to the carbonn Climate Registry, many of which were coupled with mitigation.Cities are moving quickly from planning to action, but are held back by a lack of financial and technical resources. As a result, new global partnerships (e.g. Compact of Mayors, Medellin Collaboration on Urban Resilience, Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance,) mechanisms (e.g. Adaptation Funds) and tools (e.g. ISO 37120) have emerged to address the chronic gaps in measuring and financing resilience and to accelerate local efforts toward implementation. Meanwhile, urban resilience building continues to be driven by local leadership and investment. Global and regional city networks support the implementation of commitments such as the Durban Adaptation Charter and the scaling up of pilots, while mayors advocate for improved vertical policy integration. These trends and developments will be at the center of our discussions at the congress, including at our first Finance Forum on June 9th. We invite you to use the congress as an opportunity to explore the possibilities for a “new urban resilience agenda” in your city that joins adaptation, mitigation, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable, equitable development. We also invite you to “stand up and be counted” by (1) reporting your integrated climate actions as part of the Compact of Mayors and (2) joining the Transformative Action Program (TAP), which will present ambitious local-level mitigation and adaptation actions to nations and implementation partners, beginning at the UN Paris Climate Change Conference (COP21/CMP11) this December. I look forward to joining with you in the congress discussions and wish you a productive week and transformative 2015.

EXHIBITORSRoom S05-06Open all day from 8 to10 June

The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is responsible for formulating the principles and strategies of German development policy. These form the basis of the cooperation projects and programs developed together with our partner countries and with international organizations. Sustainable urban development is recognized as a key element in achieving international climate and development goals and therefore constitutes a significant field of German development policy.

Agence Française de Développement (AFD) is a public development finance institution that has been working to fight poverty and foster economic growth in developing countries and the French Overseas Provinces for seventy years. It executes the policy defined by the French Government.AFD is present on four continents where it has international network of seventy agencies and representation offices, including nine in the French Overseas Provinces and one in Brussels. It finances and supports projects that improve people’s living conditions, promote economic growth and protect the planet.

The French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) implements public policy in the areas of climate change mitigation and adaptation, waste management, soil conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, air quality and noise abatement. The Agency funds environmental projects carried out by businesses, local authorities and the general public.

Established in 1914, ICMA, the International City/County Management Association, is the premier membership association of local government practitioners committed to creating excellence in local governance worldwide. ICMA is the lead implementing partner of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) CityLinks program, a five year program committed to implementing partnership and capacity building projects focused on urban climate change, food security, and water and sanitation. For more information, please join us for the “Cities Learn Best from Each Other” panel session on Tuesday, June 11th, as well as visit our ICMA booth!

The carbonn Climate Registry (cCR), launched in 2010, is a global reporting platform for measurable, reportable and verifiable (MRV) climate action by local and subnational governments. It is operated by the Bonn Center for Local Climate Action and Reporting (carbonn Center), ICLEI World Secretariat - www.carbonn.org

The Compact of Mayors is an agreement by city networks and their members to undertake a transparent and supportive approach to reduce city-level emissions, to reduce vulnerability and to enhance resilience to climate change, in a consistent and complimentary manner to national level climate protection efforts. ICLEI, C40 and UCLG are leading this global initiative - www.compactofmayors.org

ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability is the world’s leading network of over 1,000 cities, towns and metropolises committed to building a sustainable future.By helping our Members to make their cities and regions sustainable, low-carbon, resilient, ecomobile, biodiverse, resource-efficient and productive, healthy and happy, with a green economy and smart infrastructure, we impact over 20% of the world’s urban population.
