Building Urban Resilience to Climate Change: What Works Where, and Why

ISET worked with stakeholders in 15 cities in 5 countries — Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Thailand and the United States — to identify the challenges climate change will pose for these cities and to begin the process of systematically building city resilience to climate change in the face of those challenges. In the process, we have developed and continue to refine a resilience-building curriculum that includes laying the groundwork for addressing climate change and climate resilience, conducting a climate change vulnerability and risk assessment, and using this assessment and other materials to prepare an initial resilience strategy.
