Technical tasks:
Reach out to experts, researchers, and practitioners on resilience and urban mobility to define climate change adaptation approaches to be included in urban policies at both local and national levels in the Global South. In addition, prepare and conduct workshops with these key partners to propose policy recommendations for urban mobility planning and decision-making.
Lead the development of a new MobiliseYourCity Topic Guide on Climate Change Adaptation and mainstream climate change adaptation into existing publications and methodological documents, identify gaps and create technical content accordingly.
