German Watch and IPCC place Guatemala as one of the world's most vulnerable countries due to its geographical location and the effects of climate change. A situation involving an intervention by the city government as a whole to aim at a comprehensive reduction of risk through their development processes, which involves the creation and strengthening of short-, medium- and long-term policies and strategies. For the administration of Otto Pérez Leal, participation in the Making Cities Resilient campaign is an opportunity to involve all municipal employees – understood as the public, private and civil society sector – in a joint, coordinated planned effort for disaster risk reduction.
