Resilience
This focus on systemic ecological transformation also extends to our perspectives on resilience. Resilience goes beyond disasters and hard infrastructure but also resilience to social shocks: inequalities, pandemics, migrant crises, the social, ecological, governance and economic aspects of resilience.
The resilience of the planet cannot be approached without targeting both the local and global dimension: the local dimension is linked to the local/territorial policies and efforts, which includes policy measures and action, Climate Action Plans, restoration of lands and conservation, natural resources management, local economic empowerment and smart food strategies, waste management, accessible and clean water drinking. The global dimension is linked to the global policy-making and advocacy. It builds on the sum of all efforts made towards ecological transition, as well as recovery after disasters. In this sense, there is a need to seek unity for ecological resilience.
As the global climate emergency called us on keeping global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, UCLG rallies leadership and support from cities, territories, businesses and civil society to promote a shift towards a decarbonized economy that prevents future threats, creates decent jobs, protects heritage, and unlocks inclusive and sustainable growth. Local and regional governments are joining this initiative, under the Race to Zero, to reach net zero in the 2040s or sooner, or by mid-century.
