The future will always be a question mark. That doesn’t mean we can’t be prepared, explain Leonardo Martinez-Diaz and Alice Hill, co-authors of Building a Resilient Tomorrow: How to Prepare for the Coming Climate Disruption (2019).
Revisiting their text in the wake of COVID-19, the duo ask what we’ve learned about resilience from the pandemic, explore the intersection of inequality and disaster, and lay the groundwork for how political and financial institutions can be better prepared.

WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities has pioneered an ambitious "Triple Zero" vision for urban transportation that strives for zero emissions, zero road deaths and zero exclusion from the health, education, food and economic services that make cities livable and equitable for everyone. Urban freight is an essential, often overlooked piece to achieving this vision.
As this sector evolves amidst unprecedented disruptions from COVID-19, join us for the first webinar of our four-part series on the future of urban freight. This session introduces why cities should care about freight, how to effectively design and implement freight policies, and how businesses and cities can build effective partnerships in the sector.
