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.

The 11 municipalities committed to finalise the completion of each tool by the end of July, so as to finalise their risk and resilience capacity assessments and then start the formulation of their local risk reduction and resilience plan.

“Measuring and Planning for Climate Change” is a regional initiative of Mercociudades, co-financed by the Union of Ibero-American Capital Cities (UCCI) and Mercociudades, with technical support from ICLEI and UNDRR – under the MCR2030 initiative.

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