Risk Reduction
Guided by the data and management tools of pillar 1, pillar 2 strengthened cities’ capacity to plan for and reduce climate risk through both structural and non-structural measures that address long-term systemic risk.
In partnership with government entities, civil society, and the private sector, activities supported by pillar 2 focused on reducing the vulnerability of people, households, and communities. They provided analyses of non-structural resilience measures, offering new or improved policies and legislation, better land use planning, environmental protection and basin plans, hazard zoning and building codes, and the design of risk-reduction works, such as drainage upgrades, ponding schemes, slope stabilization, and retrofitting or reinforcement programs.
