Here's an opportunity to actively participate to the Meeting.

Help the Province of Potenza and its Municipalities' Network for Resilience in improving resilience implementation.

To actively engage in the plenary and workshops foreseen in the program, it is necessary to register by filling the required registration form and by submitting the following contribution form no later than January 23rd, 2015.

 

As duly explained in the “Concept of the event” document, the main aims of the meeting to be considered for the definition of each intervention are:

"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 network constituted by Mayors, Institutions and Communities, under a "multi-stakeholder" 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 actions' priorities 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.

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, Climante Change and Sustainable Development policies;

• share knowledge and foster new partnerships and networks"

 

The outline of the form cannot be changed and the intervention statement must be written in a maximum of 800 words. Each intervention should be anticipated by this statement and must be presented during the workshop in 3 minutes maximum. The major outputs of the workshops discussion will be highlighted in the closure plenary session.

 

The final statements will be collected in the meeting proceedings, shared with the UNISDR office and will serve as references for future programs and actions. If necessary, within 1 week after the Meeting, you can provide a revised version of the statement. In this cases, the final versions should be forwarded by submitting a new contribution form or by emailing it to the following address: provinciapzresiliente@gmail.com by Monday February 2nd, 2015 the latest.

 

The collected written contributions and the discussion results will also form part of the document to be presented by the Province of Potenza to the "3rd World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR)" organized by the UN General Assembly UNISDR in Sendai (Japan) from 14 to 18 March 2015.

 

The statement (max 800 words) must be developed with reference to the following key issues:

• The issue / the problem / the definition of the subject

• The identified gaps and needs

• Proposed solutions and commitments (if solutions are assured): 

and contextualized in the territory where the organization is located.
