International Experience and Implications of Dynamic Adaptive Planning for Urban Response to Climate Change Uncertainty

Keywords: Climate Change; Climate Adaptation; Uncertainty; Dynamic Adaptive Planning; International Experience

Abstract:

At present, China has carried out some works on urban adaptation to climate change, but insufficient consideration has been given to the dynamic and uncertainty of climate change. The paper analyzes the dynamic adaptive planning practice of regions and cities in the developed countries coping with the uncertainty of climate change from four aspects: climate scenario prediction and analysis, hierarchical response of policy measures, disaster risk monitoring and early warning, and stakeholder community participation. In addition, combined with the relatively mature climate adaptation planning process at home and abroad, this paper constructs a dynamic adaptive planning framework for cities to cope with the uncertainty of climate change, and advances the enlightenment for China’s climate change adaptation planning.
