Through this pathway, subnational governments make resilience a core part of their strategies and proactively tackle risks and impacts, prioritising the rights and needs of vulnerable sections of society. They continuously strengthen essential systems, building disaster preparedness and harnessing nature’s solutions. They pursue a transparent and inclusive approach that enhances trust in institutions and builds radical collaboration.
