“…Decision makers and stakeholders involved in flood event management need to have a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence urban flood resilience, as well as a good knowledge of the current situation, so as to support the basis on which scientific and rational decisions can be made. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Ministry of Housing and Construction (MOHURD) have proposed to build climate-resilient cities, and the program integrates the concept of resilience into the whole process of urban planning and construction [67,68]. Similarly, the Sponge City Plan (SCP) aims to maximize the use of precipitation [69], realizing a rainfall and flood cycle system that puts water resources to use on the one hand and enhances the stability of urban systems on the other.…”

As one of the most frequently occurring natural hazards, flooding can seriously threaten global security and the sustainable development of our communities. Therefore, enhancing the resilience of cities and improving their ability to adapt to flooding have become issues of great significance. This study developed a new comprehensive evaluation model of flood resilience that includes an evaluation index system from the basis of four key dimensions of social resilience, economic resilience, ecological environment resilience and infrastructure resilience. Firstly, interpretative structural modelling (ISM) was applied to analyze the structural issues affecting urban flood resilience. Secondly, the analytic network process (ANP) was then used to calculate the importance of these indicators. Finally, taking three cities (Zhengzhou, Xi’an, and Jinan) in the Yellow River Basin of China as examples, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was used to evaluate their current levels of flood resilience using the findings from the earlier stages. The results show that the levels of rainfall and vulnerability of groups were the fundamental factors affecting urban flood resilience. Indicators such as average annual rainfall, fixed-asset investments, and emergency rescue capabilities were also found to have a greater impact on urban flood resilience. In the study area, Xi’an was found to have a higher level of resilience due to having strong ecological environmental resilience. These findings are expected to provide a useful reference for policymakers and stakeholders involved in the management of flooding events.

“…It is important to understand the challenges in mobilization, such as the need for closer exploration of the workings of mechanisms as part of the evaluation process (Melloni et al, 2016). Additionally, the assessment of the construction of a climate-resilient city provides empirical evidence of the evolution mechanisms of different stages of climate-resilient cities, offering a quantitative evaluation index reference for long-term adaptive capacity and wisdom of cities (Liang, 2021).…”

Climate change poses an unprecedented threat to the global environment, with far-reaching consequences for vulnerable regions, particularly in Africa. This paper provides a comprehensive review of international climate finance mechanisms, shedding light on their effectiveness in addressing climate-related challenges, with a specific focus on the African continent. As climate change continues to exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, understanding and optimizing the mechanisms through which financial support is channeled to affected regions becomes paramount. The paper explores a range of international climate finance mechanisms, including multilateral funds, bilateral agreements, and private sector initiatives. It assesses their strengths and weaknesses in terms of mobilizing resources, promoting sustainable development, and enhancing climate resilience. The analysis also delves into the evolving landscape of climate finance, considering the emerging role of innovative financial instruments and the potential for leveraging private sector investments to complement public funding. Focusing on Africa, the review examines the unique challenges faced by the continent, such as extreme weather events, water scarcity, and agricultural disruptions. It assesses the suitability and impact of existing climate finance mechanisms in addressing these challenges and supporting Africa's adaptation and mitigation efforts. The study also considers the effectiveness of capacity-building initiatives to enhance the ability of African nations to access and utilize climate finance resources efficiently. Furthermore, the paper highlights the need for enhanced transparency, accountability, and governance in the disbursement and utilization of climate finance in Africa. It emphasizes the importance of inclusive and participatory approaches that engage local communities and ensure that climate finance contributes to sustainable development goals while addressing the specific needs of the most vulnerable populations. This review provides a nuanced understanding of international climate finance mechanisms, offering insights into their application and impact in the context of Africa's unique climate challenges. By identifying opportunities for improvement and addressing existing gaps, the paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on optimizing climate finance for a more resilient and sustainable future.

“…Among them, most of the research is being conducted in the fields of disaster, ecology, and crisis management [48][49][50][51]. Research related to urban resilience has been actively conducted in recent years on a range of subjects including urban sustainability and resilience studies [52][53][54], urban regeneration projects and urban resilience diagnosis [55,56], regional resilience diagnosis studies applying the concept of resilience [49,57], studies on the resilience of communities through the application of theory [58,59], development of evaluation criteria for the introduction of the resilient city model, and analysis of applicability [60][61][62]. The existing research mainly focuses on diagnosing the resilience construction process of urban regeneration projects, regional resilience, and low-rise residential communities through the concept of resilience.…”

Urban resilience, which has emerged as an important concept in cities since sustainability became a 21st-century urban paradigm, reflects the needs of the times to change and bring about a shift in existing national landscape architecture and social policies. To explore the characteristics of recognition of college students majoring in landscape architecture towards the concept of urban resilience before and after the beginning of COVID-19, this study aims to answer three research questions: to analyzes recognitions of landscape architecture majoring students on urban resilience (research question 1); to compare the differences that emerge from before and after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (research question 2); and to explore latent classes according to the education pattern (research question 3). The results of this study are as follows: First, before the beginning of COVID-19, four latent classes were drawn up in relation to awareness of the concept of urban resilience, while three latent classes were examined after the start of the pandemic. Before the beginning of COVID-19, students of landscape architecture accepted the concept of urban resilience as a physical and environmental approach to overcome risk factors by creating landscape architecture and infrastructure or applying the concept of resilience in urban development and redevelopment. However, after the beginning of COVID-19, they mostly have been recognized urban resilience as a concept related to technological ability. Thirdly, the grades and educational experiences of the students were found to have a significant effect on the probability of their belonging to a specific latent class.
