In this cross-journal collection, we showcase studies that focus onadaptationinurbanandrural areas.
Urbanclimateresilienceis a complex and multifaceted concept encompassing the interconnected principles ofclimatechangeadaptationandresilience.Adaptationinvolves adjustments to minimize adverse effects ofclimatechange, whileresiliencefortifies systems to withstand and recover fromclimateimpacts.
This study presents a conceptual framework for analyzingurbanresiliencein the context ofclimatechange. The key conceptual elements ofresilienceare first identified and then reorganized with a focus on cities andclimatechangeadaptation.
ForUNDP, the main areas of work are developing enabling environments and an evidence base to informurbanclimate-risk management; financing and investment solutions forurbanclimateresilience, including through nature-based solutions; and accelerating the ambition and scale ofurbanclimateactions.
This article explores the necessity of a transdisciplinary approach toclimateadaptationinurbanspaces, emphasizing the integration of architecture, social innovation, more-than-humandesign,andmultisensory analysis. We examine the current approaches and controversies of architectural andurbansolutions toclimateadaptation.
As we can see from the illustration, Urban Design For Climate Change Adaptation And Resilience has many fascinating aspects to explore.
The uncertainty ofclimatechange'simpacts hindersadaptationactions, particularly micro-scaleurbandesigninterventions. This paper proposes a sixfoldurbandesignframework to assess and enhance theresilienceofurbanform toclimatechange, whereurbanform refers to the patterns of streets, buildings, and land uses. The framework is then applied to Long Bay in Negril, Jamaica-a ...
Climatechangeandurbanresilienceis, naturally, a dynamic field, and one that needs constant reassessing andadaptation. Cities across the world face differentclimatethreats. Heat waves, flooding, storms, earthquakes, typhoons and more.
UrbanClimateResilienceBuildingresiliencein cities to absorb, adapt to, and recover fromClimateChangeshocks and stresses The 21st century has witnessed increasing global urbanization with over half the world's population now living in cities.
