Los mismos se han centrado en la disminución del impacto de las inundaciones, sobre todo basándose en que en el año 2017 entre el 60 y 70% del partido quedó bajo agua. En este sentido el PLAC 2019 se propone, hacia el 2030 y con incrementos en la precipitación diaria máxima de entre 24 y 28 mm, disminuir al menos un 40% esta situación en caso de ocurrir eventos de precipitaciones extremas en el futuro, favoreciendo el escurrimiento por los cauces de los arroyos y canales abiertos. Por otra parte, se propone que las obras de defensas de la ciudad impidan el anegamiento de los barrios cercanos al balneario (MIT y Solidaridad). Si bien el PLAC 2019 ha establecido más metas, ninguna se especifica de manera precisa y cuantitativa. En este apartado, por lo tanto, se realizarán especificaciones para que pueda evaluarse, a futuro, la eficacia de las acciones y las metodologías a fin de poder evaluarlas, mejorarlas y readecuarlas si fuera necesario. | 01/20/2022 02:27:05 | |||

This assessment commits to the Emerging and Sustainable Cities Initiative (ESCI) program. The study features the following primary methodologies:CAPRA Method, Comprehensive Approach to Probabilistic Risk Assessment. Using CAPRA it is possible to design risk transfer instruments, the evaluation of probabilistic cost-benefit ratio, providing an innovative tool for decision makers to analyse the net benefits of the risk mitigation strategies, such as building retrofitting.ESCI Method, as a response to the challenges of climate change and rapid urbanization, the Inter-American Development Bank launched the Emerging and Sustainable Cities Initiative to support sustainable development in medium-sized cities facing high grow rates. Considering urban planning as a key tool to tackle climate change, ESCI seeks to build greater capacity in Latin America and Caribbean cities to improve the quality of life of their citizens, to reduce their carbon footprint, and to increase resilience.ICLEI GPC, The GPC provides a robust framework for accounting and reporting city-wide greenhouse gas emissions. It help cities develop a comprehensive and robust greenhouse gas inventory in order to support climate action planning.ISO 19155, Geographic information and Place Identifier (PI) architecture.The ESCI program delivered 4 leading publications:(1) Climate change mitigation study.(2) Vulnerability and natural risks assessments.(3) Urban Growth.(4) Hermosillo at a Human Scale: The conjunction of the previous studies trough the ESCI method, which delivers a comprehensive action plan in regard of the city’s risks and opportunities. | 01/20/2022 02:27:05 | ||

Please provide details on the boundary of your plan, and where this differs from your city’s boundary, please provide an explanation. | 11 | Describe the synergies, trade-offs, and co-benefits of this interaction | 3 | Birmingham City Council’s initial climate change declaration included a commitment to a ‘just transition’, essentially fusing together climate justice and social justice. There are a number of key issues and challenges in relation to achieving this:• The most disadvantaged and poorly paid citizens contribute the least to the causes of climate change but are impacted the most by it. As a proportion of their income, they pay the most towards implementing solutions but benefit the least from them.• There needs to be a long term, systemic change in order to address climate change and move towards a net-zero carbon society. It is important that everyone’s voices are heard in these decisions.• There is a need for cross-sector responses which assess localised vulnerability to both climate change and to the policies which are put in place to mitigate and adapt to it.• Climate change can compound poverty and disadvantage and, conversely, poverty increases vulnerability to climate impacts. These compounding effects and interactions make a strong case for policy solutions that integrate social justice considerations into climate change policy and vice versa.• However, action to address climate change can help address social justice. For example, retrofitting homes to make them more energy efficient can reduce carbon emissions whilst also reducing fuel bills and creating, warmer healthier homes and delivering positive benefits for residents. Similarly, improving walking and cycling routes and public transport provision can make travel more accessible to those without access to their own car. | 01/20/2022 02:27:05 |

This dataset contains a subset of the related full cities dataset, covering Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Action questions for publicly disclosing cities in 2021. The platform is still open and the dataset is updated daily to reflect new submissions.
To view the cities 2021 questionnaire guidance, including all questions asked to cities in 2021, visit https://www.cdp.net/en/guidance/guidance-for-cities.

Please note that this dataset may contain data from cities or, in some instances, groups of cities at different administrative levels. This includes metropolitan areas, combined authorities, and some regional councils.
When using the inventory data for aggregation, comparison and trend analysis, please note that the inventory data is based on non-verified self-reported city inputs. The reported inventory may not include all emission sources within the city boundary.
