Resilient Cities Partner Platform
The new Partner Platform, announced on October 15, 2015 extends the original Clinton Global Initiative announcement.
Resilience is defined as the ability to respond and adapt both to chronic stresses and to acute shocks. The December 2, 2013 announcement selected the first thirty-three cities out of more than one thousand applications. The second round selected another thirty-five “resilient cities” listed below, making a total of 67 resilient cities selected.
Among the winners: One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, withstanding shocks for eight millennia. An African city harmonizing climate change adaptation, biodiversity, planning, management and water security. And a city in South America with landslides and forest fires, situated in the shadow of a volcano. Alameda was selected, then deselected.
