Displaying 105 of about 2034 resultsEn las próximas décadas el riesgo de desastres en ciudades de América Latina aumentará a causa del cambio climático, el cual modificará la vulnerabilidad, exposición, frecuencia e intensidad de las amenazas asociadas a fenómenos naturales.
Las ciudades costeras de México, así como otras de Latinoamérica, son altamente vulnerables ya que se espera que e…
These guidelines provide step-by-step instructions on how to supplement historic climate data with specific, regional, forward-looking climate change data in the design of New York City's facilities. Resilient design is intended to become an integral part of the project planning process for city agencies and designers. All new projects and substantial i…
Urban flood management is increasingly expected to be multifunctional to integrate with the existing functioning of cities. Locally, this led to the development of sustainable urban water drainage designs, while at larger scales, blue‐green or water‐sensitive cities are considered as examples for how cities should function. Upscaling local designs to ci…
Cities and the communities who live in them are significantly impacted by climate shifts in both means and extremes. These are already affecting the New York metropolitan region and will increasingly do so in the coming decades. This New York City Panel on Climate Change 2019 Report (NPCC3) provides co‐generated tools and methods for implementing r…
Buildings are an essential component of societies and economies, providing safe and healthy environments for people to live and work. To facilitate well-performing buildings, comprehensive building regulatory frameworks are needed. Components of the building regulatory framework function holistically to assure that a particular building, on a particular…
This report explores how upgrading informal settlements can simultaneously help in achieving climate resilient, inclusive and low carbon development leading to multiple benefits. Upgrading is a process of improving living conditions in informal settlements, often by providing shelter and services while supporting economic development via stronger links…
Climate change is presenting one of the main challenges to the planet. In parallel, all regions of the world are projected to urbanise further. Consequently, sustainable development challenges will be increasingly concentrated in cities. A resulting impact is the increment of expected urban flood risk in many areas around the globe. Adaptation to climat…
This document provides a universal framework that utilises verifiable and contextualized city data to establish Maputo's resilience profile and form an analysis and diagnosis of its most pressing challenges. This profile and diagnosis provide a base for the creation of evidence-based and implementable Recommended Actions for Resilience (A4R) t…
Cities in Mozambique, particularly those located on its coastline, are highly exposed to climate risks and repeatedly suffer from severe floods. To support Mozambique in addressing these challenges and build climate resilience, the World Bank, jointly with the German Development Cooperation through KfW, have financed one of the first nature-based urban…

This publication highlights the issues related to school-based disaster risk reduction. The articles include: (i) disaster safety of schools: a national concern; (ii) Sab ke Liye Salamat Shiksha: key coordination areas for national school safety programme: briefing note; (iii) impact of earthquake o…
The intention of this map is to give a quick overview for decision makers on national or regional level about the risk exposure of the road network to ‘high’ and ‘very high’ landslide susceptibility and ‘medium - very high’ seismic hazard. The classification used here runs from yellow (few kilometers exposed) to red (many kilometers exposed). The class…
The intention of this map is to give a quick overview for decision makers on national or regional level about the risk exposure of the road network to ‘medium – very high’ seismic hazard zones. The classification used here runs from yellow (few kilometers exposed) to red (many kilometers exposed). The class width of the yellow-to-red division has been c…
The intention of this map is to give a quick overview for decision makers on a supra-regional, national or subnational level about the risk exposure of the road network to ‘high’ and ‘very high’ landslide susceptibility. The classification used here runs from yellow (few kilometers exposed) to red (many kilometers exposed). The class width of the yellow…
Cette carte représente une estimation de la population et des logements exposés aux inondations.
Le Service de l’observation et des statistiques (SOeS) du ministère chargé du développement durable a développé un modèle pour estimer la population et les logements au sein de territoires infra-communaux. Ce modèle combine des données géographiques et stat…
