Description:
Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) implemented a technical assistance (TA) supporting Costa Rica to develop a framework for local governments to link climate change with disaster management and land use planning for building community resilience. Direct access to this case study: ttps://www.ctc-n.org/technical-assistance/projects/development-protocol-planning-management-and-implementation
Outcome:
In collaboration with the NDE of Costa Rica and the TA implementors (Oikologica, Ecoplan and Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center), the CTCN TA provided (1) international experiences and recommendations for local governments on integrating climate change initiatives in the land use plan at local level, (2) development of a GIS format decision-making tool to help technical staff in SETENA (TA Proponent) assess the land use plans, (3) development of a protocol which includes the vision of climate change adaptation and mitigation in the technical guidelines for land use plan and (4) pilot application of the protocol to a land use plan.
