Speaking at the event, Ms. Rosalind Cook representing UNISDR’s European Office, welcomed the new region, city and district saying, “Joining the Campaign represents an important political commitment to disaster risk reduction and to implement the 10 essentials for making cities resilient in the context of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.”

The UN Making Cities Resilient Campaign, which was established in 2010, connects cities into a global network of almost 4,000 participating cities and towns, including over 700 in the European region.

The Campaign supports local governments with knowledge, tools and resources to catalyse action and funding for disaster risk reduction and to raise awareness among citizens. Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Powiat Tucholski and Rypin will now be able to access the Disaster Resilience Scorecard which provides for in-depth analysis of the specific risks faced by local governments and supports the development of strategies and plans to reduce the impacts of disasters.
