The Urban Resilience Research Group undertakes transdisciplinary research, and education and knowledge transfer activities on urban resilient transition, addressing both causes and effects of climate change in cities. The group’s activities are aimed at informing policy making at international and national level, as well as at supporting science-based urban planning and design at local level, both in the global north and the global south. The urban resilience group actively contributes to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, the New Urban Agenda and the Sendai Action Framework for Risk Reduction.
