Transformation Recording

16 November 2021

Solutions to making the urban poor more resilient need to go beyond ‘business as usual and need to consider the underlying drivers which create risk for this group. Piece-meal solutions that offer temporary respite from oncoming climate change-induced stresses and disaster risks will not create the necessary level of structural change and require constant input. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss and understand how resilience initiatives can be made transformational so that urban poor households and communities within cities become truly resilient and independent.

This session highlighted potential ways to make resilience initiatives transformational and discussed various organizational, financial, and policy challenges in implementing these solutions.
