What is urban resilience? The UN-Habitat defines urban resilience as ”the ability of any urban system, with its inhabitants, to maintain continuity through all shocks and stresses, while positively adapting and transforming toward sustainability.“ This means creating environments that are not only livable but also resilient enough to handle the unexpected. In today’s rapidly changing world, where climate change, population growth, and unforeseen events are becoming the norm, building resilient cities is more important than ever. Think of urban resilience as a city’s immune system. Just as our bodies can fight off illnesses and recover from injuries, resilient cities are equipped to deal with various stresses and shocks. This involves a mix of well-planned infrastructure, strong so, sustainable practices, and effective governance. According to IFRC, the world’s urban population is growing by 1.4 million people per week. If this trend continues, around two thirds of the world will be living in the cities by 2050. Furthermore, John Wilmoth, the Director of the UN‘s population division(UN DESA) stated ”managing urban areas has become one of the most important development challenges of the 21st century. Our success or failure in building sustainable cities will be a major factor in the success of the post 2015 UN development agenda.“ #redcross #apdrc #upc #urbanresilience #대한적십자사 #적십자 #도시복원력

도시복원력이란 무엇일까요? 유엔재난위험경감사무국(UNDRR) 에서는 도시복원력이란 “홍수, 지진, 허리케인, 산불, 화학 물질 누출, 단전와 같은 자연적 및 인위적인 극심한 충격뿐만 아니라 지하수 고갈, 노숙, 실업 등 사회, 경제적 현안과 같이 장기간에 거쳐 발생하는 만성적인 스트레스에 견디고 이를 복구하는 능력을 말한다” 라고 합니다. 도시복원력은 우리 몸의 면역체계와 같습니다. 우리 몸 속 면역 덕분에 우리가 병을 이기고 부상에서 회복할 수 있는 것처럼, 회복력이 높은 도시는 다양한 스트레스와 충격에 대처할 수 있는 장비를 갖추고 있습니다. 센다이 강령에 의하면 이러한 도시를 위해서는 재난 복원력을 위한 조직 구성, 재정적 / 기관 역량 강화, 효과적인 재난 대비와 대응력 등 많은 사항들이 필요합니다. 국제적십자사가 세계 인구분포의 흐름이 어떻게 변화해 갈 것인지에 대한 장기 전망을 내놓았습니다. 매 주마다 도시의 인구가 약 140만 명 증가하고 있으며, 이 추세가 계속된다면 2050년에는 약 셋 중 둘은 도시에 거주할 예정입니다. 또한, 존 윌모스(John Wilmoth) 유엔인구국장은 “도시 관리는 21세기의 가장 중요한 개발과제 가운데 하나가 됐다. 지속가능한 도시 건설의 성패가 ‘포스트 2015 유엔 개발 아젠다’의 주축이 될 것이다. ” 라고 말했습니다. #redcross #대한적십자사 #적십자 #도시복원력 #urbanresilience

The Korean Red Cross has received a donation of VR flood experience content from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for 2023. The content, available in 12 languages, aims to enhance disaster response skills and knowledge. Users can learn emergency response and evacuation methods through realistic virtual experiences. The initiative focuses on utilizing advanced technology to engage digital-native youth and strengthen awareness of climate change. The ICRC emphasizes the importance of virtual reality in active training for disaster scenarios, contributing to decision-making processes in natural disasters for Red Cross societies in the Asia Pacific region. The Korean Red Cross, through the Asia Pacific Disaster Resilience Centre, actively collaborates with international organizations to improve disaster response and resilience, particularly in climate change and environmental crises. - (Kor) https://www.asiatoday.co.kr/view.php?key=20231226010015339 - (Eng) https://apdisasterresilience.org/162/?q=YToyOntzOjQ6InBhZ2UiO2k6MTtzOjEyOiJrZXl3b3JkX3R5cGUiO3M6MzoiYWxsIjt9&page=1

On 28th June, APDRC held the Digital Session at the IFRC Global Innovation Summit 2023. During the first session, Hong Kong RC and Vietnam RC shared their expertise and real experience of VR training. GDPC demonstrated the VR technology through comprehensive research on School-Based DRR. The second session highlighted the learning and insight in VR and Metaverse development from the technical experts' point of view in the related field. Lastly, active Q&A time proceeded in the panel discussion, encouraging other colleagues to think about the way forward. All of these presentations lead to one conclusion that we should gather our strengths and move as a single community, in other words, COLLABORATION. APDRC hopes this session created an atmosphere of future cooperation and improvement of new technology. #apdrc #ifrcgis23 #hongkongredcross #vietnamredcross #gdpc #icrc #nhnedu #hansunguniversity #global #disasterpreparedness #resilience #metaverse #vr #solferinoacademy #future

[Digest RCRC Innovation] The fifth innovation story is about an open-source map of Nigeria! 💌 Makoko, one of Lagos’ largest slums, used to be a blank spot on the map for most of its history. Although the population of Makoko has increased dramatically since 1962, data about the community, such as structures, density, and street appearances have not been identified. This made it nearly impossible to properly track land ownership, plan infrastructures, and prepare for emergencies. To improve the living conditions of the people of Makoko and to allocate resources from the government, Code for Africa began training the community to use drones to map Makoko. You can now explore Makoko on OpenStreetMap. Let's learn more about the production story! Find out more here! https://www.red-social-innovation.com/en/solution/mapmakoko-how-to-map-a-slum-via-drone-cartography-data-journalism/ To learn more interesting innovations, check out this website! https://www.red-social-innovation.com/en/ #APDRC #innovation #IFRC #redsocialinnovation #koreanredcross #rcrc #tech #tool #nigeria #codeforafrica #drone
