Regions and cities are on the frontline of disasters—yet financing for prevention and recovery often remains fragmented and a national competence. This session will explore opportunities for regional cooperation to enhance disaster preparedness and resilience financing. With contributions from political leaders, the European Investment Bank, and resilience city networks such as MCR2030, the session will discuss opportunities to strengthen technical and financial support for local and regional authorities, showcase some existing good practices, promote regional collaboration, and scale risk-informed investments in the face of escalating climate risks.
