Global Influence
We provide funding, capacity building, and technical assistance to help cities change the way they understand their risks and plan for their futures. We partner closely with cities as they hire a Chief Resilience Officer, develop a holistic resilience strategy, and most importantly, implement the projects identified in their strategy.

We connect cities to the partners who have the solutions they need, and ensure new solutions are created where necessary.

Our Approach to Measuring and Evaluating Impact
We capture learnings and track impact in three ways. When combined, we hope the resulting lessons and insights will help advance the work of urban resilience practitioners around the world.External researchers: The Urban Institute and a series of global partners are conducting an external evaluation of our partnerships with cities and industry leaders over the next five years.
Internal Monitoring: Regular tracking of program activities and outcomes helps us drive toward success and course correct when there are important lessons to apply to our program and partnerships.
City Reporting: Regular reporting directly from our cities allows us to identify regional and other trends, learn together, and apply cities’ experiences of success and challenges.
