Human-induced climate change, in conjunction with environmental degradation, will have unavoidable effects on cities. Medium-sized cities are growing particularly rapidly and lack the resources of larger, more established cities to address the compounding challenges of climate change, urbanization, poverty and environmental degradation. How will these cities manage the stresses and respond to the shocks and surprises of climate change while ensuring the well-being of their growing populations? The report reviews the research and urban climate resilience action programmes in 10 Asian cities, assisting partner cities to develop resilience strategies and associated implementation proposals.
