I extend a warm welcome to the participants of Resilient Cities 2016! In its seventh year, this conference performs as the world’s leading platform for urban resilience and climate adaptation. Once again, urban leaders, expert researchers and implementation partners, with all their transformative power, have come together here in Bonn. There could be no better place and time for such a gathering than here and now. UN Bonn has been shaping a sustainable future for the last 20 years. And the energy and spirit of our UN agencies have engaged multiple actors with the cause of sustainability – including ICLEI and the City of Bonn!In the past fifteen months, significant steps have been made in the major global debates. While the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement challenge us, they also offer huge opportunities in light of the new recognition and role of cities and local authorities. Resilient Cities in Bonn will bring the strings together – and lead us one important step further towards a global urban agenda and Habitat III.Therefore, I am pleased and honored to host the Resilient Cities 2016 Congress and to be part of the Steering Committee. I am very happy about this occasion to network with my fellow mayors and to contribute to a consensus on strategic decisions on how to shape a sustainable urban future. Again, welcome to Bonn! I hope you will be inspired by the discussions and networking at Resilient Cities 2016. And I am confident that you will leave here with lots of new contacts and ideas for transformative action – our future deserves it!

Promoting urban development that is “inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable,” in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 11, has become increasingly challenging in the midst of rapid urbanization and growing risks. Cities must simultaneously address a range of issues, for example, by building and maintaining safer infrastructure and housing, anticipating public health threats, restoring ecology within the city, reimagining resource management, expanding social welfare and economic opportunities for all, and improving disaster risk management. To successfully resolve various challenges, local governments need integrated approaches with innovative and forward-looking development strategies. Most importantly, they must include all residents in decision-making and implementation processes. These principles are at the heart of the Seoul 2030 Plan, a plan decided by citizens at each step with a vision for a “Happy City of Citizens with Communication and Consideration.” Like the SDGs, the 2030 Seoul Plan also includes 17 goals. These are centered around five core issues: people-centered city without discrimination, dynamic global city with a strong job market, vibrant cultural and historic city, lively and safe city, and stable housing and easy transportation, community-oriented city. To ensure a people-centered city, Seoul engages citizens in participatory planning and budgeting initiatives, such as the “Honorary Vice-Mayor” system which represents twelve different community groups. To ensure a safe city, Seoul’s 100-Year Urban Planning Promise pledges to create a city that is protected from disasters, conforms to the natural topography, and preserves the water cycle. In this way, Seoul and its citizens strive to do our part toward the goal of sustainable cities and communities that leave no one behind. On the occasion of the 7th Global Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation, I invite you to join with Seoul and leading local governments and practitioners to help define a collective vision for advancing local resilience action toward 2030 and beyond. Confronting the full range of urban risks with urban planning that looks not only 10 or 20 but 100 years into the future will require global cooperation, which is why gatherings like the Resilient Cities congress are so important. I wish you an inspiring three days of exchange and partnership-building that will help place the focus of urban development at the intersection of people, planet, and possibilities.

Welcome to Resilient Cities 2016, the 7th Global Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation. At this first post-2015 edition of our congress, we celebrate the recognition of local governments after decades of ambitious action as key stakeholders and contributors in the global frameworks adopted last year. We are now united at all levels of government under the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction to reduce disaster risk and losses, under the Paris Agreement to stem the tide of climate change by limiting global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees, and through the overarching Sustainable Development Goals to transform our world including by making cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable (SDG 11).

In response, we must define the mechanisms for multi-level governance which will enable us to deliver on the promise of 2015 while building the capacity of cities and regions to determine and scale up their own local contributions.

Of particular importance is unlocking the financing needed for these investments using a demand-driven approach that respects local priorities and development. On July 7th and 8th, our second Financing Resilience Forum will focus on how to capacitate subnational governments to design and deliver sustainable, resilient development projects that are attractive for public and private investment at all levels. These discussions will identify immediate steps that can be taken through initiatives like the Transformative Actions Program (TAP) to foster innovation and partnerships that will pave the way to lasting systemic change.

Equally important is unlocking the human capital within cities that is needed to achieve the post-2015 goals. Partnering with marginalized groups including the urban poor, migrants, and informal sector workers is essential to reducing risks and losses. Inclusive approaches also increase the overall resilience and livability of urban areas by creating more cohesive and adaptive societies. These themes will be in focus at a special forum on July 6th and 7th and will also inform input on the Zero Draft of the New Urban Agenda ahead of the final prepcom to the Habitat III conference.

I invite you to join ICLEI and the community of local governments and experts gathered here in Bonn to take advantage of this moment to provoke new ways of thinking and of working together toward the vision of more sustainable and resilient cities.

Gino Van BeginSecretary General, ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability

Program CommitteeThe Program Committee for the Resilient Cities congress is composed of experts from local governments and partner organizations centrally involved in the theme of urban resilience and climate change adaptation.

Summary: The aim of the workshop is to present and discuss how the two coastal cities are managing with increasing climate change risks. In recent years, the cities have experienced extreme flooding interchanged with droughts and salinity intrusion. There is currently lack of adequate knowledge on how to address these slow-onset disasters. Through this workshop, the cities will explore ways to effectively plan and implement successful water management to respond to flooding, salinity intrusion, and drought risks.
