BCRUP stands for Building Climate Resilience in Urban Populations. It is an initiative designed to help cities and communities adapt to the impacts of climate change through collaborative planning, research, and implementation of resilience strategies.

The key objectives of BCRUP include strengthening the capacity of urban communities to withstand climate-related shocks, fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships, generating and disseminating evidence-based knowledge, and mainstreaming climate resilience into urban planning and policy frameworks.
