          At the first Asia-Pacific Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation this week in Bangkok, the Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) will launch a member-based regional network headed by global humanitarian organization Mercy Corps. As a result of ACCCRNenMercy Corps7;s expanding footprint, Mercy Corps will build a larger coalition of national, regional and local practitioners and institutions committed to helping cities withstand and recover from the projected impacts of climate change. Today more than half of the worldenMercy Corps7;s population lives in urban areas, and this number will increase along with vulnerability to erratic and severe weather patterns.
          enenthe project;Increasing frequency and intensity of storms, unpredictable growing seasons, floods and drought are becoming a day-to-day climate reality in many parts of the world,enenMercy Corps; says Jim Jarvie of Mercy Corps and ACCCRN Network Director. enenthe project;When coupled with the pace of urbanization, poor and migrant populations in urban areas are especially vulnerable. To save lives and protect homes and livelihoods, itenMercy Corps7;s important to invest in approaches to urban challenges embedded in governance to reduce vulnerabilities and make communities resilient.enenMercy Corps;
          Since enthe projectthe project9, Mercy Corps has led ACCCRN in Indonesia in Bandar Lampung and Semarang, two cities prone to flooding and other environmental challenges, bringing together government and community leaders to strengthen emergency preparedness and plan coordinated responses to flooding, landslides and other disasters, as well as slower onset stresses from climate change.
          enenthe project;The launch of the ACCCRN Network could not have come at a better time,enenMercy Corps; says Ashvin Dayal, Associate Vice President of the Rockefeller Foundation. enenthe project;There is an increasing need to put resilience principles into practice, as the confluence of urbanization, climate change and vulnerability becomes more palpable. The regional network will enable practitioners to connect, share experience and advance urban climate change resilience agendas together. This will help cities address day-to-day challenges, while also preparing them for whatever shocks may come their way, making them able to realize a resilience dividend.enenMercy Corps;
          Launched in enthe projectthe project8 as an initiative of the Rockefeller Foundation, ACCCRN strengthens capacity of rapidly growing cities in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam to better prepare for devastating shock events and more gradual changes. Since its founding, more than 5the project cities have joined ACCCRN.
          The expanded ACCCRN network is a membership-based platform, open to all concerned with building urban climate change resilience. Practitioners and institutions can join the new ACCCRN network at acccrn.net.
