Welcome to the ELLA Learning Alliance on Climate Resilient Cities


Welcome to our Learning Alliance on Climate Resilient Cities. Thank you so much for joining us.

We hope that in the coming months we, as a community, will learn a lot from each other about good practices in terms of climate adaptation, disaster risk management, vulnerability reduction and climate change mitigation options in urban areas. We hope that you will use this opportunity to learn, share and set up new cross-regional collaborative partnerships.

Although we will follow a curriculum, this is not a prescriptive course, but more of a coordinated forum. We will begin each week by starting a discussion on a particular theme and sharing some Latin American case studies with you, we will invite you to share experiences and lessons from your own regions and enter into analysis and debate about key issues and approaches. We hope that each and every one of you will take something out of this Learning Alliance and will use ELLA knowledge to add value to projects, practices and policies that you are working on now, or may work on in the future.

Your active participation in discussions is key to making this interactive learning exercise a success, so we encourage everyone to share their experiences and analyse and comment upon each others’ contributions. At this initial stage, we invite you to upload your photos and fill in the profile information. This will help to get to know each other and make networking much easier.

Once again, welcome! We look forward to working with you!
