Over the centuries, deltas have given rise to some of the world’s greatest cities, and those cities have always been open to the world. They have thrived not only in the trade of goods, but also in the exchange of ideas. Today, as the world faces up to the need to adapt to climate change, it has never been more important for delta countries to learn from one another.
This publication brings together inspiring case studies from around the globe to galvanize governments and citizens to help the half a billion people living in delta communities who are imperiled by climate change. It aims to raise delta adaptation efforts up the political agenda by highlighting significant achievements and good practices where learning can be shared, supporting the policy dialogue on water adaptation and resilience, unlocking avenues for collaboration among policy-makers and technical advisers, and building awareness and capacity.
The report is intended primarily for an audience of governments in delta countries: policy-makers, central and federal governments and local governments, including mayors and municipal councils.
