Urban Resilience - Climate change vulnerability and adaptability index
Resumen
Cities in Latin America have been hit hardest by climate-associated disasters. With 25% of the urban population living in vulnerable, precarious settlements, the cities of the region face great challenges and, at the same time, tremendous opportunities to achieve their sustainable, climate-compatible development.
The Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptability Index was conceived based on the need for urban diagnostics
tools that can build capacities of local governments in Latin America to devise and implement action plans that promote climate change resilient development.
