Supporting climate-resilient urban planning: 10 lessons from cities in southern Africa
This brief presents key insights on integrating climate information into climate change-related adaptation planning in African cities.
Coastal climate impact analysis and sanitation hazard assesment framework
In low- and middle-income countries, current urban sanitation services often struggle to safely contain and treat human waste for a variety of reasons. Sea level rise and the associated increase in storm surges will add further complexity to urban sanitation service planning in these settings. Planning for sea level rise is needed to ensure the future reliability of these services and can be a catalyst for upgrading neglected sanitation services.
This handbook provides stepwise guidance for facilitating authorities responsible for citywide sanitation services to develop an adaptive action plan for ensuring the resilience of their city’s sanitation services to the impacts of sea level rise.
