How do you help our city adapt?

Climate adaptation and resilience building in cities should include: 

1. physical infrastructure like water storage, passive cooling, urban design and building regulation;

2. nature based solutions like urban agriculture, parks and open space, rain gardens, floodplain and watershed restoration;

3. planning and social policy like land use planning, social safety nets, health services, climate education and more.
