It is particularly valuable for municipalities in the Global South that lack dedicated climate planning capacity.

Key Features

  • Tool library: Curated directory of adaptation tools with guidance on applicability
  • Case studies: Real-world city examples covering heat, flooding, coastal risk and water scarcity
  • Financing guidance: Pathways to access climate finance from the Green Climate Fund and other sources
  • Capacity building: Free courses and webinar series for municipal practitioners

Who Is It For?

City officials, national governments and community organisations looking for practical, globally applicable guidance on climate adaptation, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
