Integrating Climate Adaptation: a Toolkit for Urban Planners and Adaptation Practitioners

The toolkit on Integrating Climate Adaptation is aimed at both urban planning and climate adaptation specialists working for cities. This toolkit was developed with the goal of facilitating the inclusion of climate change adaptation principles into the practice of urban planning. It is meant as a guidance document for cities to set themselves up for success in the emerging field of climate-change adaptation through urban planning measures. The effort required to improve urban planning and climate adaptation integration is within arm’s reach and the benefits of doing so are far-reaching. Sustainable urban planning policies, once in place, can mitigate climate risks for decades to come.
