Description
The Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030) initiative is a global partnership that supports cities in strengthening disaster and climate resilience. A key tool available for its cities and partners is the MCR2030 dashboard, an online platform designed to help cities assess their resilience, share insights, and monitor progress along the resilience roadmap. The dashboard also facilitates city’s access to useful tools and resources provided by MCR2030 service providers which further support cities in achieving their resilience goals in line with broader global frameworks such as the Sendai Framework, the Paris Agreement, and the Sustainable Development Goals.
To better understand how MCR2030 participating entities have benefited from using the dashboard in connecting with cities, a survey was conducted in April 2025 by the MCR2030 Global Secretariat. The survey explored how frequently the dashboard is used, its perceived usefulness, and the barriers or challenges that may have hindered its usage. The survey findings showed that while the dashboard is widely recognized, many entities revealed limited understanding of the available functions of the dashboard and how it can be utilized to support connection with cities.
In response to this, a one-hour webinar is planned with an aim to strengthen participating entities’ understanding and use of the MCR2030 dashboard. The session will provide a step-by-step walkthrough of the dashboard key features with live demonstration on how to use specific functions available to participating entities. It will also feature practical use cases by MCR2030 participating entities in strengthening city engagement.
By the end of the session, attendees are expected to gain greater confidence in navigating the dashboard and enhance its usage to maximize potential engagement with cities and support local resilience efforts.
Targeted Audience:
Participation in this webinar is by invitation only, with current MCR2030 participating entities as the primary audience.
