The photo gallery and program from Resilient Cities 2010 will give you an overview of the proactive spirit that enlivened the first instalment of the congress.
Resilient Cities 2011 will continue to cast light on the challenges posed by climate change and support the rising momentum of local adaptation and resilience strategies worldwide.
Building on the success of last year and elaborating on top of the technical discussions, local decision-makers will back the congress with their political leadership at the Mayors Adaptation Forum 2011, the Mayors' segment of the event, convened by the World Mayors Council on Climate Change.
The call for contributions is officially open and we welcome proposals for presentations, panels, workshops, posters and co-events that will build the structure of the congress program!

Please consult the call for contributions brochure and guidelines before submitting your contribution. The submission deadline is 18 January 2011.
