Amplifying Culture-Based Climate Resilience on the Global Stage

The Race to Resilience Culture (RTRC) initiative continues to gain global momentum, with cities across Africa and the U.S. demonstrating how culture and heritage can be powerful catalysts for climate resilience. From Africa to North America, participating cities are proving that effective climate action is not only about infrastructure and emissions, but also about identity, belonging, and the lived experiences that shape how communities adapt, endure, and thrive.
