Building city resilience requires the leader’s strong political will and collaboration from all stakeholders in the city.

We need to prioritise ambitious and transformational projects that can make it cheaper to adapt to climate change and reduce future climate risks and that have a large, measurable impact on reducing vulnerability.

There are no completely safe places. There are only places of varying risks and vulnerabilities, and the people’s capacity to prepare and adapt.

Communities bounce back faster from disasters when women are involved and respected in decision making and communities work together to prepare and respond. Climate resilience starts with equal.

Resilience, in today's context is definitely not about bouncing back to normal state, it is about accepting and preparing for new realities

Sustainable resilience of people, communities and ecosystems can only be achieved if the unequal social, economic and political ties that strangles are continually unbound through our deliberate, collective and dedicated action.

Building true resilience to climate change requires much more than a few changes to our systems and infrastructure. It requires a holistic transition, addressing every aspect of our lives and allowing us to learn, how to live with uncertainty
