Resilient Municipalities Network
Margareta Wahlstrom, the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction (UN-ISDR), Franco Gabrielli, Head of the National civile Protection Department, and Paola Albrito, UN-ISDR Regional Coordinator for Europe confirmed their participation. National Government Representatives, Members of European and Italian Parliament, national and regional Authorities and several foreign delegations will also participate.
The International Meeting in brief
Aim of the Meeting
The meeting is a synthesis moment of the work done so far, in order to create the conditions for spreading the awareness culture about "risk" and to increase the territorial safety level with concrete actions and investments. In fact, the "Making Cities Resilient Campaign" network constituted by Mayors, Institutions and Communities, under a "multistakeholder" approach, is the starting point for the implementation of future activities to be carried out through a permanent dialogue.
Moreover, a resilient territory does not simply adapt itself to the problems deriving from natural and human-induced risks but it should generate structural changes based on environmental, economic and social reactions. In this context, the safety, the territorial maintenance, the re-use of territorial portions and the soil consumption control are some priority actions for identifying strategies. Such strategies integrate long-term instances about territorial safety and protection and mitigation and adaptation measures in short and medium term. Those strategies have to be supported by local development programs in order to improve the effective use of technologies and financial resources.
Specific objectives
In particular the meeting is a valuable opportunity to develop contributions to:
-
establish a shared and participated implementation strategy based on an innovative network model, which includes stakeholders, Institutions, local communities and citizens, for the promotion of concrete actions to strengthen the 10 key-requirements identified by the ONU in the “Making Cities Resilient” campaign at local level;
-
strengthen the institutional dialogue and actions on Disaster risk Reduction, Disaster Risk Management, Climate Changes and Sustainable Development policies;
-
share knowledge and foster new partnerships and networks.
