Tackling climate change in cities: The role of best practices, 2014.
Sabrina Dekker, ICCG
This paper aims to present what cities are currently doing in the area of climate change policy, specifically the best practices that have impacts on human health. In addition to this, the paper will highlight practices that are innovative and demonstrate efforts that go beyond, what ‘common’ best practices set to achieve.
Finally the paper will examine the policies holistically to identify how cities can further develop policies related to climate change and health. Analysis of municipal plans from 51 cities across the globe, has highlighted commonalities in the efforts of cities to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on human health.
