Making Cities Resilient to Climate Change : Identifying ‘Win-Win’ Interventions

Dulal, Hari Bansha (2016-04-09)

Urbanization is truly a global phenomenon. Starting at 39% in 1980, the urbanization level rose to 52% in 2011. Ongoing rapid urbanization has led to increase in urban greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Urban climate change risks have also increased with more low-income urban dwellers living in climate sensitive locations. ...
