서울시, '세계 100대 재난회복력 도시' 선정 Seoul, chosen as one of the next 37 member cities for 100 Resilient Cities by The Rockefeller Foundation - 미 록펠러 재단 설립 100주년 기념… 25일<현지시각> 홈페이지 통해 공식 발표 - ‘재난회복력 있는 도시’ 조성 위해 2년간 10억 상당 비용과 전문 컨설팅 등 지원 - 서울시, '17년 말 목표로 포괄적‧혁신적 '재난회복력 강화 종합계획' 수립 ※ 재난회복력(Resilience) : 재난 예방하고 재난 발생시 최대한 빨리 회복할 수 있는 역량

□ 서울시는 미국 록펠러 재단 100RC가 선정한 '세계 100대 재난회복력 도시(100 Resilient Cities, 이하 100RC)'에 이름을 올렸다.

○ 재난회복력이란 자연적‧사회적 재난을 예방하고 재난이 발생했을 때 최대한 빨리 회복할 수 있는 역량을 말한다.

□ 이를 통해 서울시는 향후 2년간 록펠러 재단 100RC로부터 10억 원 상당의 비용과 전문 컨설팅, 소프트웨어 등을 지원받아 서울의 재난회복 역량을 키워나가게 된다.

□ '세계 100대 재난회복력 도시' 프로젝트는 록펠러 재단 설립 100주년을 기념하는 프로젝트로, 세계 100개 도시를 선정해 재난회복력이 있는 도시를 조성하는 것을 목표로 한다.

○ 록펠러 재단(Rockefeller Foundation)은 미국의 실업가인 존 록펠러(John. D. Rockefeller)가 인류복지 증진을 목적으로 1913년 설립했으며 카네기재단, 포드재단과 함께 미국 최대 규모로 꼽힌다.

□ 선정된 주요 도시로는 런던, 파리, 로마, 몬트리올, 뉴욕, 로스앤젤레스, 시카고 등이 있으며, 국내 도시 가운데는 서울이 유일하게 선정됐다.

□ 록펠러 재단 100RC는 '13년부터 도시 선정을 시작, '13년 30개, '14년 33개 도시를 선정했으며, 25일(수) 0시<현지시각> 공식 홈페이지(http://www.100resilientcities.org)를 통해 서울을 비롯한 37개 도시를 최종 발표함으로써 100개 도시 선정을 마무리 지었다.

○ 올해는 80여 개 국 325개 도시에서 지원서를 제출, 약 9:1의 경쟁률을 기록했다.

□ 100RC는 도시 선정을 위해 각 도시로부터 지원서를 받아 전 세계 각 분야 전문가로 구성된 심사위원회를 통해 ▴혁신적이고 결단력 있는 지도자 ▴변화에 대응할 수 있는 능력 ▴다양한 이해관계자와의 협업 등을 중점적으로 평가하고, 현장실사, 시장면담 등 과정도 거쳤다고 설명했다.

○ 올해는 미국 초고층 전문 건축설계업체인 Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates사의 A. Eugene Kohn 회장, Mckinsey&Co. Africa 이사인 Acha Leke 등이 심사위원으로 참여했으며, 박원순 시장은 지난 4월 22일 Michael Berkowitz 100RC 대표와 영상회의를 통해 면담을 진행한 바 있다.

□ 선정된 도시는 록펠러 재단 100RC의 지원을 받아 '재난회복력 강화 종합계획'을 수립하게 된다. 100RC는 각 도시별로 도시의 재난회복력 구축 과정을 총괄할 총책임자(CRO, Chief Resilience Officer)를 고용하고 종합계획을 수립할 수 있도록 향후 2년간 10억 원 상당을 지원할 계획이다.

○ 아울러, 100RC의 민간, 공공 및 비영리 부문 파트너인 Palantir, EPA, Microsoft, THE WORLD BANK 등으로부터 종합계획의 수립 및 실행에 필요한 리스크 관리 기법, 빅데이터 활용 및 분석 기법, 예산 확보 기법, 도시기반시설 구축 기법 등을 지원받을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

	<재난회복력 총책임자>
- 각 이해관계자들의 참여를 유도하고, 재난회복력 구축과정 총괄 - 해당 도시의 재난회복력 역량 측정, 우선순위 결정 및 위험과 기회분석 등을 통해 실행가능한 방재정책을 수립할 수 있도록 지원 - 100대 방재도시 네트워크 내 회원들간 상호 지식 및 활동 공유

□ 서울시는 현재 안전총괄본부장을 총책임자로 하고 실무 추진전담팀을 구성하여 '17년 말을 목표로 종합계획을 수립한다는 계획이다.

○ 기존의 재난 대책이 시설물 붕괴, 화재, 홍수 등 서울에서 자주 발생해온 재난의 예방과 복구 대책에 초점이 맞춰졌다면 새로 수립할 계획에는 100RC 도시간 네트워크 구축을 통해 전세계 대도시들의 공동 문제에 대해 서로 경험을 공유하고 국제적으로 협력하는 내용 등을 담은 포괄적‧혁신적인 재난관리 계획이 될 예정이다.

○ 시는 실행력을 담보하기 위해 안전총괄본부 내에 ‘실무추진 전담팀’을 구성해 총책임자를 지원하고, 100RC 회복력 강화 위원회(분야별 자문)도 구성·운영한다는 계획이다.

□ 한편, 시는 오는 10월 '도시안전포럼'을 처음으로 개최할 예정인 가운데, 100RC 사무국과 협의해 이 포럼에 100대 도시 관계자를 초청하고 재난회복력을 강화하기 위한 각 도시들의 경험과 정책을 공유하는 방안도 고려하고 있다.

□ 김준기 서울시 안전총괄본부장은 “늑장대응보다는 과잉대응인 낫다는 방향 아래 재난 예방 정책을 추진해오고 있는 서울시의 노력이 공감대를 얻어 이번에 세계 100대 재난회복력 도시에 선정된 것으로 풀이된다”며 “시민의 생명과 안전이 최우선되는 시정이 구현될 수 있도록 재난회복력 강화 종합계획 수립에 최선을 다하겠다”고 말했다.

100 Resilient Cities & The Rockefeller Foundation: 37 New Member Cities, Reaching 100 City Milestone

05.24.16 | By 100RC

Diverse Group of 100 Cities to Shape Global Urban Resilience Movement, Building Off Notable Progress Since 100RC’s Inception in 2013

100RC Provides Member Cities with Funding to Hire a Chief Resilience Officer, Access to Over $200 Million (USD) in Services, and Critical Support to Develop a City Resilience Strategy

Washington, DC & Nairobi, Kenya – Today, 100 Resilient Cities – Pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation (100RC) announced the next 37 member cities to join its global network. Together with a prominent group of mayors from around the world, The Rockefeller Foundation President Dr. Judith Rodin and 100RC President Michael Berkowitz announced the newest cities to join the $164 million (USD) global initiative at joint events in Nairobi, Kenya and Washington, DC. This new cohort spans five continents, including major urban centers Nairobi, Jakarta, Buenos Aires, and eight American cities – and a unique partnership across Miami, Miami Beach, and Miami Dade County – fulfilling the organization’s founding commitment to build a network of 100 cities. Through three challenge processes since its inception in 2013, 100RC has received more than 1,000 applications to join its Network, including 325 in this most recent challenge.

As members of the 100RC Network, cities receive grant funding to hire a Chief Resilience Officer (CRO), an innovative new position within municipal government to work directly with city leaders in developing a city Resilience Strategy. The strategy, designed with support from 100RC, helps cities plan for more integrated solutions to the challenges posed from globalization, urbanization, and climate change – including important social and economic impacts.  The 100RC Network provides member cities with greater than $200 million (USD) in direct support from the 100RC Platform of Partners, which provides critical tools, services, and technical assistance from organizations like Swiss Re, Microsoft, the World Bank, and the International Rescue Committee. And cities in the 100RC Network are connected through a peer-to-peer network, leading to groundbreaking cross-city partnerships and solutions. Notably, in the fall of 2015, 100RC hosted a Network Exchange in Rotterdam, the Netherlands – which aggregated challenges from across the 100RC Network on water management issues to learn from leading water experts and bring solutions home to cities as diverse as Berkeley, Calif. and Surat, India.

“The 100 Resilient Cities Network is showing the global community a new way of coping with shared, complex challenges – building urban resilience,” said Dr. Judith Rodin, President of The Rockefeller Foundation. “Incorporating resilience planning and principles not only prepares cities for disasters and long-term threats, but also improves everyday living standards for all members of an urban community. The geographical, political, and cultural diversity in the now-complete 100RC network demonstrates that when it comes to dealing with this century’s toughest challenges, resilience planning is essential.”

“Since 100RC’s founding in 2013, we have seen the resilience movement grow from a bold idea into a burgeoning fixture of local governments all over the world,” said Michael Berkowitz, President of 100 Resilient Cities. “We are proud today to celebrate the fulfillment of our initial commitment to reach 100 cities – but the real work lies ahead. The threshold of success for 100RC will not solely be progress within our network of 100 cities. Instead, it will be the ability for solutions to scale, and for all cities around the world to build off of the innovative work leveraged by these 100 Resilient Cities through implementation of their Resilience Strategies.”

The final cohort to enter the 100RC Network includes:

“Washington, DC has always been a symbol of strength for our nation, and the city’s inclusion in the 100 Resilient Cities Network will put us on a path to an even brighter, more resilient future,” said Mayor Muriel Bowser. “As our nation’s capital grows, we must find ways to bolster our resilience while protecting and preserving our prosperity. We look forward to our partnership with 100 Resilient Cities, and the ability to hire a Chief Resilience Officer to lead DC’s resilience efforts, while connecting and learning from other global cities in the networks.

100RC selected cities based on each city’s demonstrated commitment to building resilience in the face of the complex, multiform challenges of the 21st Century – along with strong mayoral leadership and commitment to the initiative. 100RC’s program empowers cities to design, implement, and manage proactive solutions to the challenges posed by urbanization, globalization, and climate change, including short-term shocks like natural disasters, and long-term stresses like sea level rise and cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Since its inception in 2013, the 100RC Network has seen remarkable progress – laying the foundation for expanding the impact of its work from 100 cities to a broader group of cities around the world:

• Since 2013, more than 50 CROs have been appointed through 100RC, which has also inspired governments around the globe to appoint CROs on their own, separate from the 100RC program – including CROs at higher levels of government. In the 100RC Network, cities are reorganizing around the concept of resilience—with many cities in the 100RC Network already formalizing the role of the CROs as a permanent fixture within their city government.

• A dozen members of the 100RC Network have already released Resilience Strategies, including Resilient New Orleans, winner of the 2016 American Planning Association National Planning Excellence Award. These strategies are outlining specific initiatives for resilience building and are laying the groundwork for significant investment—both from governments and from outside funders. Three members of the 100RC Network – New York, N.Y.; New Orleans, La.; and Norfolk, Va. – received a combined $400 million (USD) in federal funding after successfully leveraging their Resilience Strategies to apply for funding through the National Disaster Resilience Competition, administered by the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. Now cities will also have access to a tool that helps them assess their resilience using a new, best-in-class index (the City Resilience Index).

• 100RC Member cities have leveraged tools and technical assistance through more than 100 engagements with the 100RC Platform of Partners. In addition to their more than $200 million (USD) in commitments to the 100RC Network, partners have innovated and developed new services and tools to better meet cities’ resilience building challenges. Collaborations between 100RC Platform Partners, such as the work of 100RC partners Swiss Re (the world’s second-largest reinsurer) and Veolia (a transnational service and utility giant), are better preparing cities in the 100RC Network to understand the risk exposure of critical assets under current and future climate scenarios. This partnership not only arms cities with new tools to deal with the constantly evolving risks they face, but will also ensure the livability and vibrancy of cities by building their economic and physical resilience.

• Markets are beginning to react to the work of 100RC, notably in 2015 when Moody’s, one of the big three credit agencies, credited the Resilience Strategy process in Norfolk, VA as partial rationale for maintaining the region’s credit rating.

A list of the full 100RC network is available here.
