The future is uncertain, and the present is turbulent, but cities know how to turn things around.
We are a network built and led by cities, connecting local governments, urban actors, and organizations to build a resilient future for billions.
CROs are the heart of our network. They steer action and bring together communities, sectors and urban actors to set in motion solutions that enhance the resilience of cities and their communities.

A city is as resilient as its communities
Cities are strengthening neighbourhoods, supporting families, and reducing pressures that make people less safe in moments of crisis. When communities thrive, cities can adapt faster and recover better.
Cities put equity first
Cities are adapting to a decade of converging shocks and pressures
Flooding, heat, infrastructure strain and economic pressures are unfolding at the same time, increasing uncertainty for city leaders. Cities are building the capacity to understand danger, strengthen coordination and act quickly so essential services keep running during disruption.
Prepare for uncertainty
Resilience succeeds when it strengthens people’s safety, health and wellbeing
Cities are reducing heat impacts, improving air quality, strengthening emergency response and creating conditions that support healthier lives. By investing in places and services that keep people safe every day, cities build stronger foundations for resilience.

A city is as resilient as its communities
This is why at the heart of our mission lies an unwavering commitment to help cities address and rectify the inequities that perpetuate risk and vulnerabilities.
Cities put equity first
Resilient cities are navigating the polycrisis era
Withstanding, preparing and adapting to face multiple crises at once requires us to better understand risk and collaborate. As a network built and led by cities, we are building capacity together, breaking down silos, and becoming more agile to adapt quickly to sudden changes.
Prepare for uncertainty
Becoming cleaner, healthier and just
Cities are creating jobs, reducing emissions, and protecting biodiversity by transitioning into a circular economy. The shift from extractive to regenerative models reduces waste and inequalities and improves our well-being.
