Abstract
While adaptation is starting to become recognized as an essential response to the expected impacts of climate change, few cities have initiated early and sustained adaptation commitments. Even as many cities undertake a range of mitigation projects, from emissions monitoring to waste-to-energy conversion, the approaches, tools and methodologies related to adaptation – even the definition of the term itself – remain somewhat obscure to many cities.
