The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT)
developed this guide for city planners and other allied
professionals to better understand, assess, and take action on
climate change at the local level. While climate change is a
global issue, this guide is specifically intended for urban
communities in low and middle income countries where the
challenges are unique and the human stakes of planning for
climate change are particularly high. Publications in the Cities
