As members of the 100 Resilient Cities Network, cities receive grant funding to hire a chief resilience officer (CRO) to work directly with city leaders in developing a city Resilience Strategy. The strategy, designed with support from 100 Resilient Cities, helps cities plan for more integrated solutions to the challenges posed from globalization, urbanization, and climate change – including important social and economic impacts.
100 Resilient Cities is now looking to the future with aims to bring the movement to 1,000, then 10,000 cities.
100 Resilient Cities was pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation.
