In this first introductory week it would be very interesting for us as a community to get a snapshot of the state of climate resilience in cities across our diverse nations.
The aim of this Learning Alliance is to share practices and approaches that might be utilised by others to address climate change challenges in cities. You may be able to provide inspiration or even solutions for peers facing similar challenges that your city has already overcome; others may provide the same for you; or we may come together to work on new solutions. In order to do that, a good place to start may be with a short introduction to how cities are being affected by the changing climate, and the level of response in cities across your nation.
We have created a short video about the importance of addressing climate related challenges at the city level, and what efforts are being made in Latin America to overcome these. We would like to invite you to watch this video and answer the following questions:
1. How are cities in your nations being affected by the changing climate?
2. How are your cities addressing climate change challenges?
We welcome you to upload files that may be of interest to other participants along with your contributions. For those of you looking for more information on Latin American solutions, or a general overview of the challenges posed by climate change in cities, please take a look at the supplementary readings in the Resource Library.
