Energy Resilience across the Resilient Cities Network

My list

Cities are leading the transition to clean energy, but improving access, affordability, and overall resilience of municipal energy systems remains a significant challenge for our network cities, who face a myriad of chronic shocks and stresses that put these systems at risk.

In this session offered by Resilient Cities Network, expert participants share insights on…

a) The energy resilience and transition targets that the city of Cali, Colombia, is working towards. The actions being undertaken revolve around increasing renewable energy generation, improving energy efficiency, and integrating cutting-edge technologies to manage power infrastructure disruptions.

b) The sustainable energy markets, energy access and energy poverty alleviation for backyard dwellings in Cape Town, South Africa. Despite widespread electrification and subsidization of electricity tariffs and connection costs for low-income residents, many households still struggle to access affordable and reliable electricity.

c) R-Cities’s flagship program Urban Power supports cities to develop energy projects for a green and just energy transition, while achieving their net-zero ambitions and delivering resilience co-benefits.
