Resilient Cities Catalyst (RCC) is a global non-profit that helps cities build their resilience by changing the way they plan and act. We help cities build the capacities and partnerships needed to understand, prioritize, and concretely address their risks and chronic stresses as they pursue their strategic goals or recover from crisis. The RCC team builds upon several years of experience working to build resilience across California, including leading the Southern California Resilience Initiative in the greater Los Angeles region, which is focused on building resilience in the face of wildfire and extreme heat, as well as the recently announced California Resilience Partnership across the state.
RCC partners with city governments, businesses, neighborhoods, and community stakeholders around the globe to:
1. Develop an enabling environment to build strong partnerships between cities and their communities allowing them to drive policy, planning, design, finance, and institutional resources for resilience-building efforts.
2. Ensure that ideas are turned into meaningful action by addressing gaps between project plans, project implementation and desired impacts.
3. Share and replicate learnings through a growing community of practice.
The San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative was established in 2011 as a network for public agencies to advance climate change solutions that mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change. Partnering with academia, non-profit organizations, and business and community leaders, the Collaborative raises the profile of regional leadership, shares expertise, and leverages resources.
Our mission is to connect the region to advance climate change solutions. By bringing people together, we envision a region that is prosperous and resilient with a commitment to maintaining a high quality of life, and fostering a green and growing economy with an equitable and unified approach. Together, we are prosperous and resilient.
