Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]the challenge lies with cities, fundamentally the challenge to change the metabolism of urban systems deeply. [...]the alliance among cities can reach more results than largescale state accords, because cities play the main role in climate change impact and in its understanding, so that cities must be able to solve them. Since the Rio Earth Summit in 1992,, it has been proven that cities are essential fostering climate change. According to this, the Climate Plan is an initiative involving citizens, since many of the actions tend to result in a transformation of uses and cultures with future intelligence that can only be achieved if people embrace it. The main effects will be the gradual increase of temperatures and the reduction of fresh water availabilty, changes in the frequency of heat waves and in the effects derived from these impacts. [...]we are faced with problems that often affect the entire city in an extensive manner and with gradual effects, which means that most measures will be applied progressively at many different scales.
