In the recent session on “Urban Resilience: Critical Ingredient of National Adaptation Planning Process” at the 8th Global Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation - Resilient City Series, representatives from the Joint UNDP-UN Environment National Adaptation Plan Global Support Programme (NAP-GSP), connected with municipal leaders, city planners, academics, research institutions and a broad range of essential stakeholders to explore the connection between cities, climate change adaptation planning, nationally determined contributions, vertical integration and more. The key goals of the session were to showcase major gaps in identifying climate threats in cities, outline key success ingredients to build urban climate resilience, convene a realistic step-by-step approach to building urban climate resilience, explore entry points for enhancing municipal finance for resilience programming, and assess and discuss synergies with international development partners in implementing the approach.

5 - Comprehensive achievement has been
attained, with the commitment and capacities to
sustain efforts at all levels.
4 - Substantial achievement has been attained,
but with some recognized deficiencies in
commitment, financial resources or operational
capacities.
