Description:
This guide aims to provide cities in developing countries with practical insights into climate change adaptation. Building on existing sources, this guide seeks to address climate change adaptation for cities in developing countries with an additional discussion of challenges facing informal settlements, the urban poor, and other vulnerable groups. This guide specifically addresses an audience of mayors and municipal practitioners in developing countries. This guide uses disaster risk reduction - a familiar framework for many cities worldwide - as a practical starting point for climate change adaptation.
