Mission
ICLEI is the world’s leading network of 12 mega-cities, 100 super-cities and urban regions,
450 large cities, and 450 small and medium-sized cities and towns in 84 countries. ICLEI helps cities become sustainable, resilient, resource-efficient, low-carbon, and
biodiverse; to develop a green urban economy with smart infrastructure; and ultimately,
it’s all about a planet with healthy & happy communities.
Cities must be low-risk and resilient if they want to be sustainable: resilient to disaster,
climate change, unforeseen events and economic shocks.
Resilient City is one of ICLEI agendas focusing on helping cities to become more resilient to disaster,
climate change, unforeseen events and economic shocks.
Every year ICLEI organizes a Global Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation - Resilient Cities. Resilient Cities 2013 will take place from 31 May to 2 June 2013 in Bonn, Germany.

Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
