Severe storms and flooding almost 20 years ago proved a turning point for Campinas. Since then, the Brazilian city has emerged as a global leader of climate resilient urban development

MCR2030 conducts training activities with municipalities in Pará (Brazil).

The project consists of a series of plans that, together, seek to raise awareness of disaster risk reduction and climate resilience.

Two municipalities will be selected this year to receive technical support in the preparation and analysis of their Local Resilience Plan.

Faced with increasing threats of soil erosion and landslides, Barcarena has been implementing actions to achieve sustainability for more than a decade, making it a benchmark in the State of Pará for its path towards the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

In May 2022, Recife suffered the impact of heavy intense rains that highlighted the need for the city to speed up the implementation of urban resilience actions in the face of catastrophes and climate change.

Main goals of ICLEI and UNDRR’s partnership in Recife are to enhance the analysis of risk management and climate change capacities in Recife.

Barcarena authorities announced the creation of the Multisectoral Committee responsible for the elaboration and implementation of the Strategy for Risk and Disaster Reduction (RRD) and Resilience of the city.

The Brazilian municipality of Riversul has become the 300th member of a global partnership of local governments committed to strengthening their disaster resilience in an ever-riskier world.
