Urban Resilience to Climate Extremes in Southeast Asia (URCE) Program
Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) with the support from Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) is implementing a program titled “Urban Resilience to Climate Extremes in Southeast Asia (URCE)”. The program goal is to build ‘resilient communities in deltaic and coastal urban areas’ and strengthening resilience of the urban systems and urban communities to the current and emerging climate extremes, disasters and emergencies that are anticipated in the deltaic and coastal cities in Southeast Asia. The program is being implemented in My Tho City Viet Nam and also actively promote learning and exchange with other countries in Asia and the Pacific through several regional level endeavors under the program. The program started its inception phase (from 1st November 2018) for setting up implementation arrangements of the program activities in the two targeted Southeast Asian countries namely Myanmar and Viet Nam as well as making necessary refinement needed for the program
implementation; and building regional level learning and exchanges in Southeast Asian countries. The five-year program timing is from 1st November 2018 to 31st October 2023. The program goal will be fulfilled by achieving the following primary outcomes:
- OUTCOME 1: Improved Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems and Risk Knowledge on climate extremes.
- OUTCOME 2: Strengthened urban community readiness and local preparedness.
- OUTCOME 3: Improved urban sectoral preparedness and emergency response.
- OUTCOME 4: Strengthened urban risk governance systems for dealing with emerging climate extremes and emergencies.
- OUTCOME 5: Improved knowledge and awareness on building urban climate resilience for extremes through Regional and National events and forums.
