EcoCities: Four Degrees of Preparation

Resource description:

Central to research project, EcoCities, is the concept of building adaptive capacity. This concerns helping cities to develop the skills, knowledge and expertise necessary to adapt to the impacts and opportunities that a changing climate presents. The core aim of EcoCities has been to undertake research to support the process of planning for a changing climate in Greater Manchester. It is hoped that the outputs contained within this website will also have wider relevance for other urban areas engaged in responding to the challenges and potential opportunities linked to climate change.
