Cities around the world are reeling from the impacts of climate change. Urban areas are on the frontline of increasingly expensive and deadly climate risks such as extreme heat and flooding, among other climate-related hazards. Nature-based solutions (NbS) can play a role in mitigating these risks by enhancing urban resilience to climate change. Tools like the Climate Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (CHVA) framework can help to identify the most vulnerable areas in a city, prioritize interventions, and ensure that adaptation measures are targeted effectively.

Co-organized by WRI India, UrbanShift, and Cities4Forests, this three-part webinar series is designed to build the capacity of city officials to conduct vulnerability assessments and implement nature-based approaches to enhance climate resilience in cities.

Themes of the three webinars –

1. February 5, 2025: An introduction to the Climate Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (CHVA) framework to prioritize resilience actions in cities.
2. March 5, 2025: Nature-based solutions to tackle extreme heat in cities.
3. March 26, 2025: Nature-based solutions to mitigate urban flooding.

Participate in all three webinars for a comprehensive learning experience.
