Resilient Cities Catalyst is a global nonprofit (NGO) that was founded in 2019 by members of the 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) leadership team. Building on the pioneering legacy of 100RC, and in partnership with a community of urban resilience actors, RCC is helping cities build the capacities and partnerships needed to understand, prioritize and concretely address their risks and chronic stresses as they pursue their strategic goals or recover from a crisis.

RCC and our partners will come together for the 11th edition of the United Nations’ World Urban Forum (WUF11). This leading global conference on sustainable urbanisation will be hosted by UN Habitat at Katowice (Poland) from June 26-30, 2022.

Under the theme Transforming our Cities for a Better Urban Future, this year’s WUF will generate insights and clarity on the future of cities based on existing trends, challenges and opportunities, while also proposing ways cities can be better prepared to address future pandemics and other shocks. 

Below are sessions RCC will participate in. Please make sure to stop by our booth to learn more about our work and partnership with UN Habitat and the Cities Investment Facility. Both online and in-person participation is possible, and in all cases registration is free of charge.
