Finally, it should be noted that the distribution of urban climate strategies between mitigation and adaptation is an evolving process, notably under the impact of the growing awareness of the synergies and co-benefits they entail (Sharifi, 2021; Zhao et al., 2018; Landauer et al., 2015; Hamin and Gurran, 2009). There are only few studies investigating these synergies from a theoretical or empirical point of view (Grafakos et al., 2019; Urban Strategies for Mitigation or Adaptation to Climate Change 2350005-13 Chn. J. Analysis of Adaptation and Mitigation Plans from 200 Urban Areas in 11 Countries.” Climatic Change, 122: 331–340.

# Urban Planning Tools for Climate Change Mitigation. Land use patterns and urban form can strongly impact an urban community’s contribution to global climate change through the production of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). But implementing an urban planning strategy that includes effective climate change mitigation techniques requires decision support tools that illustrate the GHG implications of land use and transportation options. This report reviews existing tools that help urban planners address climate change mitigation, analyzing the tools’ scope, scale, methodology, and policy support, and presents four case studies illustrating how existing tools at various stages of development have been used. Adaptation, Climate Mitigation, Conservation, Environment, Environmental Management, Environmental Planning, Growth Controls, Growth Management, Land Monitoring, Land Use, Land Use Planning, Land Value, Natural Resources, Open Space, Planning, Public Policy, Reuse of Urban Land, Smart Growth, Spatial Order, Sustainable Development, Urban, Urban Design, Urban Development, Urban Sprawl.

The research focus of this project led by Curtin University was specifically on UHI intensity and magnitude, at various spatial and temporal scales, and in both urban and rural areas, to determine any possible influencing factors. How is land use change and population (both growth and shift) associated with urban warming of the Dhaka megacity, and what are the factors influencing the UHI, particularly SUHI? How, and to what extent, has past and current urban morphology, material surface type, land use and green/blue spaces affected Dhaka’s microclimate? What are the costs and benefits of introducing potential heat mitigating measures (such as greenspaces, green walls and green roofs) into the urban environment? Thank you for agreeing to provide feedback on the new version of worldbank.org; your response will help us to improve our website. Your feedback is very helpful to us as we work to improve the site functionality on worldbank.org.

# Climate adaptation, mitigation, and urban design. Urban planning and design are among the most effective tools in dealing with climate change, because they address both mitigation and adaptation. The urban design firm Dover Kohl worked with Jean Lafitte, a very low-lying town south of New Orleans, Louisiana, to plan for the densification of a one-square-mile “heart of town” that was afterwards protected by a new levee. **Accommodate.** Cities may accommodate some impacts of climate change through a number of urban design measures. Designing for small groups of households with social connections, like “pocket neighborhoods,” may also build resilience to climate change. The three scales of New Urbanism—block, street, building; neighborhood, district, corridor; town, city, and region—are factors in addressing climate change. Urban designers cannot solve climate change, but they can help communities to better respond to it, Plater-Zyberk explains. As King notes in his book, subtitled “Overcoming Pushback Against Local Mitigation and Adaptation Plans,” urban designers must navigate tricky political waters while influencing those responses.

# Urban climate adaptation and mitigation action plans: A critical review. A framework for assessing the suitability of Climate Action Plans (CAPs) is proposed. However, studies indicate limitations in the comprehensiveness and level of integration of adaptation and mitigation in existing climate action plans. To develop suitable climate action plans that are comprehensive and consistent with globally accepted standards and benchmarks, this study proposed an Urban Climate Action Planning framework and pilot-tested it with 257 urban climate action plans. Surprisingly, none of the plans sampled from Africa and Latin America achieved a weak level of suitability despite lacking a significant share of global climate research and development funding. Urban climate action plans adopted or published more recently (2018–2022) are likely more suitable than those adopted or published earlier. The sampled urban climate action plans from the Global South had higher average suitability scores than those from the Global North. The study presents key findings and considerations for urban climate action planning and future research.

While improving building efficiency is important to reducing urban emissions, cities can also lower their carbon footprint by increasing transit ridership, walking, cycling, and reducing car use. There are other landscape-oriented strategies cities can use to further reduce emissions. Urban trees reduce a city’s overall carbon footprint by absorbing carbon dioxide, offsetting emissions. A 2016 report by the Nature Conservancy found that increased investment in urban tree planting could avoid up to 13 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually in the form of reduced electricity demand. Landscape architects seamlessly integrate these various elements into the urban landscape, creating public spaces and systems that support and accommodate a wide variety of emissions-reducing strategies that also help communities adapt to climate change and become more resilient.

As climate change intensifies, leading to more frequent and severe extreme weather events such as floods and heatwaves, enhancing the climate resilience of our cities has never been more critical. Energy-efficient buildings offer a two linked benefits: creating more climate resilient cities while significantly reducing emissions and utility costs. By incorporating energy-efficient technologies into building design and retrofits, we can create more sustainable, resilient, and cost-effective buildings that reduce our environmental impact and prepare our cities for intensifying weather. Extreme weather events pose a significant threat to people and buildings worldwide, prompting at-risk countries such as Japan to adopt strict building codes and climate-resilient construction techniques in their cities. Implementing climate-smart strategies, such as greener infrastructure and resilient buildings, will help cities remain livable, even amid intensifying heatwaves, floods, and storms.
