Climate adaptation
For sustainable urban development practitioners, climate adaptation means developing local responses to adapt well to the impacts of climate change on urban environments.
Climate adaptation focuses on fostering flexibility in urban planning and design, ensuring the continued functionality and liveability of cities amid changing climatic conditions. By incorporating climate-sensitive design, cities can promote environmental sustainability, protect natural resources, and create climate-resilient urban spaces.
Explore the related resources to help boost climate adaptation in towns and cities, including measures to mitigate heat islands and implement nature-based solutions such as green roofs, urban parks and green spaces.
