| dc.description | The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region is undergoing urbanization at rates twice the global average. Furthermore, the rapid deforestation in urban areas for farming and agriculture is worsening the impacts of climate change. CityAdapt’s goal is to build the capacity of government and local communities to adapt to the effects of climate change through the integration of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) into urban planning. EbA is the holistic strategy of using ecosystems – and the services they provide – to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on people. The project is being implemented in 3 cities - Xalapa (Mexico), Kingston (Jamaica), and San Salvador (El Salvador) | en_US |
