Brazil

Currently, only five Brazilian cities have been nominated as MCR2030 Resilience Hubs: Porto Alegre, Recife, Campinas, Salvador and Barcarena.

The Municipal Council of Protection and Civil Defence - Compdec - of the municipality of Petrópolis, in Brazil, validated on July 26th 2023 the results of their disaster resilience capacities assessment carried out with the technical support of UNDRR.

These three new Resilience Hubs will support our global network in sharing knowledge and best practices among MCR2030 cities.

The UNDRR tool assesses how resilient a city’s food systems are, considering that they are essential to face emergencies and ensure the continuous availability of safe and healthy food.

All speakers emphasized the benefits of adopting a gender perspective to better understand climate change and its disproportionate impact on women.

The municipality partnered with UNDRR and ICLEI, co-leaders of the MCR2030 initiative in the Americas and Caribbean, to accompany and support the process.

The objective of the Programme is to build capacity in both local governments for integrated risk management and disaster resilience action planning.
