With serious concern over the incidences of climate-induced disasters, the "Climate and Disaster Resilience Initiative" (CDRI) was started in 2008, led by Kyoto University in cooperation with CityNet and UNISDR. There are research, education, training and implementation components to the CDRI, and the above-mentioned members jointly handle “City Profile” work. The “City Profile” is a study that looks at different dimensions of urban communities, with their existing levels of climate disaster resilience. Its purpose is to understand the problems and issues that would severely affect outcomes in the event of a disaster. The measure of the current level of a city itself is important in its own context. This will be used to capitalize the resilience of urban communities. In this way, the methodology of city profiles becomes a more powerful tool if used for action planning and implementation in numerous Asian urban communities. And with this background, the CDRI Capacity-building program was designed as a comprehensive, action-oriented learning and training package and program.
