The course “Whole-of-society approach to creating healthy, resilient and sustainable cities: Harnessing South-South Cooperation for a post-COVID era” serves as an introductory training for urban leaders, planners, and practitioners, aiming to:
- Increase awareness and understanding for managing complex urban disaster risks and enhancing public health emergency response preparedness, and South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC);
- Introduce useful concepts and tools to strengthen whole-of-society engagement in urban disaster risk management;
- Better prepare city stakeholders and engage them in making cities resilient for future crises, health and non-health emergencies and uncertainties;
- Facilitate learning through SSTC towards sustainable development;
- Inspire and motivate whole-of-society (especially young people) to play a key and active role in securing resilient and sustainable urban futures.
