How can cities adapt to climate change? They can ensure that their infrastructures (buildings, industrial facilities, road, sewerage systems) are flexible and engineered to survive in the uncertain environment of climate change. They can also create institutional frameworks that enable them to build adaptation requirements into a wide range of planning activities. Here you'll find more details on how cities are making these kind of changes.
