Building Climate Resilience: Maputo, Mozambique

The Handbook outlines a framework for action for enhancing adaptive capacity and building resilience within the jurisdiction of Maputo Municipal Council, so that the local key stakeholders can identify timeframes, responsibilities and economic considerations associated with each step, and thus make the informed and well-considered locally appropriate decisions regarding the social, economic and ecological sustainability of interventions. It has been designed and developed, undertaking a number of participatory processes aiming to provide guidance and steps for the implementation of actions towards enhancing resilience to climate change for Maputo Municipal Council. It is targeted at local government officials, sustainability practitioners in the private and public sectors, and in particular those in the field of spatial planning and the built environment, whilst incorporating civil society organisations and decision makers.
