Climate change adaptation in Delta Cities

Description

C40 network has developed a good practice guide with inspiring practical examples on how delta cities adapt to climate change impacts as there are sea level rise, flooding and storms. The good practice guide includes both soft and technical measures as for instance pumping, sea walls, green-blue infrastructure, organisational approaches and flood proofing. Good practices are coming from all over the world, including European cities as Rotterdam, Copenhagen and London.
