World Bank: Guide to Climate Change Adaptation in Cities (PDF)
The World Bank published an easy to read guide to climate adaptation. The primary focus is to explain what adaptation is, and how city managers can adapt and lower risks to people, their homes, and businesses.
“Building resilience and adapting to climate change is increasingly a high priority for cities. Besides mitigation, on which efforts have largely focused in the past, cities should today play a larger role in adaptation. The World Bank and various other development institutions are working with cities to strengthen their capacity to assess vulnerability to climate change impacts and to identify corresponding plans and investments to increase their resilience.
This guide on climate change adaptation in cities is intended to offer mayors and other city officials, in developing countries, practical guidance on how to respond to the challenges of climate change adaptation in their cities. It provides a comprehensive overview of key climate adaptation issues that are relevant to cities, offers examples of good practices and successful experiences, and is a useful guide to other available resources and policy tools on the topic.
The guide focuses on disaster risk management, the urban poor and other vulnerable groups, and access to climate finance.”

Sometimes I feel so tired…
Sometimes I don’t know who I am…
Sometimes I remember when I was 8…
I just wanna have time to my self.
i dont wanna hurt anybody.
But in this world of crazies…
Nobody can understand me. So sad.
