01

Hotspot Identification of Vulnerable Urban Areas

Guiding targeted resilience actions.

Green Climate Resilient Urban Spatial Plans (GCRUSP)

We support climate-sensitive urban spatial planning that integrates nature-based solutions, climate-proof infrastructure, and risk-informed land use planning to strengthen long-term urban resilience.

03

BCRUP promotes equitable access to affordable, climate-resilient housing and essential urban services, including water, sanitation, energy, drainage systems, and disaster preparedness and response facilities.

04

Green Urban Economy & Livelihoods

Strengthen green livelihoods and inclusive economic growth.

05

Strengthening Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)

BCRUP supports countries to integrate urban climate data, low-carbon development pathways, and resilience priorities into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and urban policy frameworks.
