Introduction to climate change adaptation and its relevance for urban mobility planning
1. Description:
As countries and cities with higher vulnerability to climate change located in the Global South struggle with their escalating impacts, the need for climate adaptation within urban mobility systems becomes increasingly apparent. This session is part of a series on climate change adaptation in urban mobility developed by MobiliseYourCity, and aims to raise the awareness of the impacts and underscore the importance of incorporating climate adaptation strategies. It presents the effects and consequences of climatic events, drawing on various sources and research that have explored climate change adaptation in urban mobility systems. Additionally, the session uses practical examples and interactive activities, such as discussions, quizzes, and exercises, to identify the risks faced by urban mobility caused by climate change and some potential actions to increase their adaptation.
2. Learning Objectives
- Deliver foundational knowledge regarding the impacts of climate change on urban mobility systems and explore adaptive strategies for cities.
- Enhance awareness of climate change adaptation and emphasize its role in urban mobility planning.
- Enrich the discussions to identify the specific requirements of cities for climate change adaptation within the context of urban mobility.
- Present diverse sources and methodologies for developing climate change adaptation strategies in urban mobility.
- Facilitate understanding by presenting the various stages of climate change adaptation through an interactive case study.
