Before the storm

This game is inspired by ‘Apples to Apples’. It has been modified by the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, with support from Extra Ludic. Before the Storm is a decision-making game designed to introduce the weather forecasts and possible actions to take against natural disasters through different roles. The object of the game is to win the most rounds by playing an action card from one's hand to best "match" that round's communal forecast card as chosen by that round's judging player.

Decisions of the decade

Decisions of the Decade is an interactive game which helps people recognize that there are many uncertain aspects to the future of the climate, and therefore, risk management may require being prepared for surprises such as natural disasters. It is designed to support conventional ways of understanding key aspects of long-term investments under incertitude.

A practitioner’s view: Santiago, Chile

Cristián Robertson, the Deputy Resilience Officer of Resilient Santiago, talks about the Resilience Santiago Project. Santiago, the capital of Chile, is well known for being an extremely resilient city against earthquakes. Within the project, resilience is understood in a more comprehensive way that goes beyond the absorption of natural disasters. Resilience is also viewed here through a social and economic lens. This 9-minute interview is a good opportunity to see how this broad resilience understanding is being implemented in a real case.

River flooding in Jakarta

Since 1949, Jakarta is facing massive industrial and urban growth due to new colonisations at the Ciliwung River’s mouth. As Jakarta became one of the most important industrial centres in Indonesia, devastating effects of river floods also increased. These two factors may seem irrelevant at first sight, but actually urbanization stimulates river flood events to increase. With changing land use due to rapid urbanization, soil permeability decreases, retention time of water in the environment decreases, deforestation occurs. Also, when changes in precipitation patterns are combined with these factors, Jakarta faces catastrophic effects of river flooding. One of the most important factors that increases the damage of these natural disasters is the lack of infrastructure with appropriate legislations. Applicable solution strategies to decrease the damage of flood on Jakarta includes; institutional measures such as new legislations and public education and technical measures such as infrastructure installation, watershed planning, wastewater management, natural resources management. From an environmental perspective, this study emphasizes river flooding problems of Jakarta and brings solutions on increasing the resilience of the city for a sustainable future.

Poverty and Informal Housing in Manila

The Philippines, due to its geographical location in the Ring of Fire and the Typhoon belt, gets affected by a variety of natural hazards every year such as typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. Additional stresses like droughts and sea level rise (caused by climate change), and land subsidence due to excess groundwater extraction, contribute to lowering Manila’s resilience even further. Informal housing, however, is one of the main factors that contribute to lowering the resilience of the city to the multiple natural resources that it is prone to. The urban poor of Manila usually live in informal settlements due to the lack of availability of affordable housing and the increase of unplanned urban migration. This sector of society is therefore the most affected by disasters. Due to the lack of availability of resources before, during and after the occurrence of a natural event, dwellers of informal settlements are significantly more vulnerable to the effects of shocks. For this same reason, they have a lower ability to recover afterwards, which consequently increases their vulnerability to the next natural disaster due to the high recurrence of such events in the region. Furthermore, low to non-existent government intervention in these communities leads to malfunctioning drainage and sanitation systems, which end up affect the city as a whole as they contribute to pump station blockage and surface water pollution in cases of flooding. On the other hand, government interventions involving resettlement plans tend to fail due to lack of popular consultation and community involvement in the decision-making process. Successful relocation plans could significantly reduce the vulnerability of these communities to natural disaster since they would reduce population density in Metro Manila, move the communities to lower risk and more geologically stable areas, and reduce surface water pollution in the city due to better waste management. Proper relocation plans by the government could therefore have a great impact in improving the overall resilience of Manila, but community participation and consultation is primordial for the efforts to be successful. Additional proposed solutions, as well as supplementary resources are provided including reference literature and understanding/discussion questions related to the topics discussed in the report. Answers to the understanding questions are provided separately for lecturers.

Tokyo 2050

In this game, you are in the city council of Tokyo, preparing and implementing measures while new shocks are happening, and stresses become more and more severe. The goal of the game is to build a resilient city, with a good economy, a close community and healthy nature. In the game, each round represents the yearly meeting of the city council, in which you can discuss a policy and corresponding budget you want to implement. However, every year the die is cast and there is a chance of a disaster. These disasters can happen in one of four sectors that represent Tokyo’s environmental resilience: Air Quality, Solid Waste Management, Health sector and Coastal Defense. Each shock has negative impacts on the city’s economy, community and nature, and thus removes you further from your goal. It is therefore wise to prepare adaptive measures before a disaster is happening, or to mitigate ongoing disasters or repair the damages of last year's disasters. Are you able to lead Tokyo to a prosperous future?

Drang naar Samenhang | #38 De psychologie van klimaatverandering

Het lijkt wel alsof er elke dag nieuws is over klimaatverandering. Hoe passen we onze kennis hierover aan? Hoe belangrijk is een eigen ervaring met de gevolgen van klimaatverandering hiervoor? En zorgt aangepaste kennis ook voor een verandering is ons gedrag? Aan de hand van recent psychologisch onderzoek proberen we deze vragen te beantwoorden. Bronnen Ballew, M.T., Marlon, J.R., Goldberg, M.H., Maibach, E.W., Rosenthal, S.A., Aiken, E., & Leiserowitz, A. (2022).

Japanese Cities: Critical infrastructure design for extreme resilience

HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS CASE STUDY: First, please refer to the Teacher's Guide using the yellow "View Materials" button on the left pane. The teacher's guide outlines the purpose, contents, approach, case structure, and technical information of this case study. This case study was curated from other independently published open educational resources and from existing materials on this platform. These resources are also organized by domain. At the bottom of each resource's page, you can see both the city case study and SURF Resilience domain to which it belongs. Click on the case study or the domain name to navigate to the case study homepage or SURF Resilience collection, respectively. OVERVIEW: This set contains a teaching guide, seven thematic foci, and gaming simulations. In this set, you will discover the challenges and opportunities provided by the concept of urban resilience on mitigating and preventing flooding. Examples of design considerations of hydraulic structures and spillways will show you how resilience can be integrated into urban planning and management. Then, you will dive into the topic of large waves, typhoons, storm surges, and tsunamis. You will see how one natural disaster can pose potential downstream risks for society, as exhibited by the 2011 tsunami and the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant failure. Moreover, you will see how tsunamis impact multiple urban subsystems such as transportation, buildings, sanitation, and environment. You will have the opportunity to think about solution strategies and their ethical considerations. Then, you will look into the process of post-disaster reconstruction after a disaster has uprooted existing systems. Lastly, you will see how man-made climate change has created alternative urban climates. You will also look into how to design for a better, more comfortable urban microclimate. End by playing related resilience games.
