As different parts of countries become drier, wetter or hotter, green infrastructure can help improve community resilience through smart urban planning and intelligent urban transport systems. The CTCN has worked with countries such as Indonesia and Thailand to develop climate resilient infrastructure and foster green buildings for low-carbon societies. By adapting cities, transport systems and buildings to climate change impacts, countries can mitigate related costs and risks. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
Saint Lucia is a Small Island Development State (SIDS), which is highly at risk from climate change, mainly due to its location along the North Atlantic hurricane corridor, its small surface area, geographic location and its economic reliance on tourism and agriculture, which are climate-sensitive factors. The country’s limited capacity to reconstruct and reactivate its economy after climate-related shocks renders it highly vulnerable. Because of its small geographic size and dependence on natural resources any extreme weather event can have national implications.
Context
Nationally Determined Contribution adaptation target: By 2030, all buildings are improved and prepared for extreme climate events, including drought, flooding and hurricanes.
