Pilot projects can guide larger investments. Features:
• Ease of implementation – increases chance of
success and learning
• High visibility – key for local awareness and future
scale-up
• Low regret – increase climate resilience but bring
development benefits irrespective of climate
conditions;. this will ensure visible benefits even if
climate conditions do not change for a period.

URBAN AREAS:
Major Issues
• Cities are economic engines
threatened by CC
• Cities are growing; secondary
cities especially
• Impacts depend on
geographic, socio-economic,
& political characteristics
• Cities concentrate
vulnerability
• Role of the private sector
• Community involvement
• Cities can be drivers of
adaptation & resilience

URBAN AREAS:
• Enhanced heat island &
heat waves
• More intense storms
• Flood losses
• More air pollution
• Droughts
• Economic impacts from
supporting regions
• Impacts on ecosystem
services

URBAN AREAS: Temperature
Increases

URBAN AREAS: Heat Islands

URBAN AREAS:
• Urban analysis to understand complex impacts
• Vulnerability analyses & targeted interventions
• Capacity building and training for government
officials
• Mainstreaming adaptation into urban planning
• Enabling policies at the national level
• Broadening participation in urban adaptation
Planning
• Scaling adaptation justice through multilevel and
multi-scalar governance
• Visioning and scenario planning

URBAN AREAS:
• Comprehensive storm water
management
• Mitigating urban heat islands
• Land use planning for
coastal/river flooding

Adaptation Science
Meinke et al. (2009) define “adaptation science” as “the process of
identifying and assessing threats, risks, uncertainties and opportunities
that generates the information, knowledge and insight required to effect
changes in systems to increase their adaptive capacity and performance.”
Follow these steps in sequence:
i. Understand the existing system and scope possible changes to norms
and values
ii. Identify likely core issues and decision criteria; clarify who, what, and
when
iii. Assess climate impacts and trends, including their uncertainty.
iv. Evaluate if impacts matter
v. Assess the adaptation options and their broader consequences
vi. Design and evaluate implementation options.

Conclusions and Summary
of Part 2
• Understand the key focal points in your country
• Understand risks and likelihood of success of
projects in each sector
• Draw on best practices and recommendations for
each sector…What has worked elsewhere?
• Understand the research and data needs for
determining vulnerabilities
