Adaptation Community Meetings on Urban and Infrastructure Resilience

Cities house more than half the world’s population, account for four-fifths of global economic activity, and support critical infrastructure and services – yet they are facing challenges from environmental impacts such as flooding, storm surges and heat waves that are exacerbated by climate change.

The following ACMS have focused on this issue:

• A practical pathway forward: removing barriers to designing, financing and building climate resilient infrastructure (September 2018)
• Preparing Water Services for Climate Risks: Experience from the Philippines (May 2018)
• Strengthening Adaptation Planning in Mozambican Coastal Cities (May 2017)
• Preparing Assets for Severe Climate Weather Threats and Reducing Vulnerability – A Risk-based Process (February 2017)
• Calculating the costs of not adapting to climate change (December 2016)
• The Story of the Durban Adaptation Charter (September 2015)
