Planning for Climate Risk

Develop a climate-resilience planning guide for a South African municipality facing hazards such as heat, drought, flooding or wildfire. Show how planners can combine climate science, local knowledge, infrastructure data and community stories to identify who and what is most at risk. Compare measures such as early-warning systems, nature-based solutions, safer land-use planning and resilient public services. Include ways to communicate uncertainty honestly, involve affected residents and evaluate whether interventions are working without overlooking vulnerable groups.
