KEY LESSONS URBAN ADPTATION
• 3-Distinctive
• GEO-PHYSICAL
• Vulnerability Map
• Ecosystems;
• Dolomite Rock Sediment are
often strongly controlled by
reaction kinetics.
LESSON: SEPTIC SYSTEMS IN FRAGMATED URBAN
SPRAWL
• FRAGMATED URBAN SPRAWL
CONDITIONS AND COVERAGE
• SEPTIC SYSTEMS
• GATED COMMUNITIES
• REGULATION AND URBAN FORM
POPULATION IN FRAGMATED URBAN SPRAWL
LESSON -WATER QUALITY AMELIORATION
Protecting natural forests can protect
drinking water supplies as it is linked to
sediment retention)
Time series of water quality data and land
cover required. Vulnerability Map
Conversion from forest Re-charge Areas to
Urban Sprawl result in significant decrease
in water quality
CONCEPTULISE: GREEN HOUSE TECHNOLOGY
• The waste re-use for improved livelihood
• Sustainable environmental management
• Project Implemented to strengthen
• Urban forestry,
• Backyard Gardens,
• Source separation
• Waste Re-use service chain
• Community Green House
• WASHE activities
GREEN HOUSE TECHNOLOGY CONSTRUCTION
WOMEN TRAINING IN GREEN HOUSE
CAPACITY BUILDING OF CBEs, SMS IN URBAN ADAPTATION
ENGAGING ACADEMIA IN URBAN ADAPTATION
INVOLVING DICISION MAKERS IN URBAN ADAPTATION
TARGETING CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS FOR CLIME URBAN
• Madimba, 10km
• Area 1.2 (km2)
KEY LESSONS URBAN ADPTATION
challenges in implementing
climate change adaptive
initiatives –such as Tree planting,
Indigenous Forest Regeneration
Construction of drainages,
Access to safe water and the
introduction early maturing crops
KEY LESSONS URBAN ADPTATION COMMONS
GOVERNMENT, LOCAL, WDC
CO-MANAGEMENT
OF
THE COMMON
CIVIL SOCIETY , NGO, CBEs
PRIVATE COMPANIES
RECOMMENDATION ON URBAN ADPTATION
Climate Adaptive Initiatives by locals
should incorporate technocrats
Formation of national policies on climate
change, should embrace indigenous
Ideologies local Knowledge
Climate change should be a crosscutting
issue in all developmental programs.
Increase awareness on climate adaptive
Innovative initiatives to increase food
