Urban focus in climate change adaptation and risk reduction

Wamsler, Christine LU (2014) In Klimat i Fokus
Abstract
Urban communities will face increased risks, such as floods, landslides, heat stress and fires and water scarcity, as a consequence of climate change. The latest IPCC report (AR5)

has for the first time devoted a whole chapter to urban areas. The assessment stresses the need to tackle urban risk through more effective adaptation planning.
