De esta forma se permite fortalecer a las comunidades más vulnerables con el doble propósito de mejorar la calidad de vida de los habitantes de la zona rural y conservar los recursos naturales de estas zonas. Estas acciones contribuyen a reducir la vulnerabilidad de los grupos rurales que no tienen fácil acceso al agua potable; asimismo propicia la participación de diferencias instancias tanto públicas como privadas. Por otra parte en zonas urbanas se implementaron acciones de adopción y vinculación de fuentes renovables de energía en edificios gubernamentales.Para el periodo 2015-2018 se instalaron 3 sistemas fotovoltaicos en edificios públicos (zonas urbanas). Actualmente se cuenta con 8 espacios que suministran parte de su energía eléctrica a través de tecnología fotovoltaica, 6 de estos espacios son edificios de propiedad municipal que además de contar con celdas solares han desarrollado hábitos para ahorrar energía y sustitución de algunos luminarios. Esta contribución en espacios públicos, permite que actualmente se tenga una potencia instalada de 203 kWp con energía solar, con ello se puede lograr una reducción de 163.2 toneladas de CO2 anuales a la atmosfera. Una de las finalidades implícitas en la ejecución de estas medidas es concientizar desde el interior del gobierno municipal, entorno a la importancia y necesidad de usar eficientemente la electricidad, esto se ha reforzado a través de jornadas de capacitación. De manera directa se benefician a 500 personas entre usuarios y servidores públicos, indirectamente se beneficia al total de la población leonesa.Para dar continuidad a dichas acciones para el ciclo 2018-2021 se pretende implementar en 9 espacios la transición energética y la aplicación de ecotécnias, incluyendo espacios de convivencia y esparcimiento social, así como edificios públicos (zonas urbanas). En Pro de seguir avanzando hacia la transición energética y generar energía a través de fuentes limpias, en el Municipio de León contamos cada vez más con espacios públicos que hacen uso de esta tecnología. En la primera etapa de este ejercicio administrativo se busca ampliar el concepto de eficiencia energética en la Sexta comandancia de tránsito que ya cuenta hasta el momento con un sistema de recarga de autos eléctricos; se buscará que este centro de carga sea suministrado con energía solar, así este edificio se une a otros más que cuentan ya con esta tecnología. De manera directa se benefician 15 empleados de la sexta comandancia de tránsito, de manera indirecta el total de la población leonesa. Con respecto a la zona rural, la meta que se pretende lograr es la instalación de ecotécnias en 3 comunidades rurales del ANP Sierra de Lobos. (Total de 9 sistemas de captación, 3 biodigestores y 30 sistemas fotovoltaicos) que beneficia a 10 Familias aproximadamente 50 personas. | Pre-feasibility study status | 10093864 | 9981924 | Local | 1578626 | 2015 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-101.684, 21.1221]} | 2019-10-16T18:33:19.143 | |

The project aims to improve the integration of climate information into strategic planning and achieve the following outcomes: • Increased understanding of heat to determine key risks across the Eastern and Northern Adelaide Regions; • Improved awareness about the potential impacts of urban heat, and how this may translate to future scenarios (which forecast increased density, a more compact urban form and increased population across the region); and • Evidence to support informed decision-making on urban form and green infrastructure. GIS layers are being incorporated into each council's GIS system; maps to show the relationship between urban heat and effects across each council area; and case studies on key risk areas and cooling opportunities. Findings from the report are being communicated to Council staff and will be applied in decision-making. The State Government is hosting this data in a community accessible online tool along with similar data obtained for other metropolitan regions. This was launched in conjunction with the Feeling Hot Hot Hot! community event and received a lot of interest and visitation.

For those hazards that can be mitigated, the City and CCUSD must be prepared to implement efficient and effective short and long term actions where needed. The purpose of the MJHMP is to provide the City and CCUSD with clear direction for hazard mitigation action planning. The MJHMP identifies resources, information, and strategies for risk reduction and provides a tool to measure the success of mitigation implementation on a continual basis. https://www.culvercity.org/live/public-safety/hazard-mitigation-plan | https://www.culvercity.org/live/public-safety/hazard-mitigation-plan | 39860 | 2018 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-118.4, 34.02]} | 2019-10-16T18:33:19.143 | ||||

For instance, a rainstorm in August 2012 blocked the emergency response centre. In exceptional and unpredictable situations, the preparedness of city residents for independent initiative, knowing one's own environment and knowing the people that may need help is critical. Thus, supporting a sense of community is an excellent way to prepare for exceptional conditions and simultaneously help advance the realisation of other objectives listed in the action plan 2029.In addition to the measures discussed above and to support them, it is important to further elaborate an overall view of adaptation measures. Furthermore, it is crucial to strengthen coordination as part of climate policy steering and implementation and as part of management and operations of divisions and Turku City Group’s subsidiaries. Preparation for climate change and adaptation measures widely concern the city's operation and affect the wellbeing of citizens particularly in situations where climate risks become reality. | 191000 | 2018 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[22.2666, 60.4518]} | 2019-10-16T18:33:19.143 | |||||

The recent change in provincial government may slow funding for CA's to accomplish this work, however most of London which is vulnerable to flooding has been effectively managed by property acquisition, flooding infrastructure and / or floodplain land use planning regulations. Fanshawe Dam provides substantial flood protection for portions of London and an extensive dyke system of 8 dykes protect the most vulnerable to flooding neighbourhoods.
