Resilient Cities Initiative on Climate Change in Latin America and the Caribbean
This joint initiative between IDRC and the Climate and Development Knowledge Network will help strengthen decision-making and scale-up effective action on climate resilient development to improve the livelihoods of those most affected by climate change in Latin America. Climate change in Latin America Climate change impacts represent a serious threat for fast-growing small- and medium-sized cities. In the last decade, demographic and investment changes took place at a rapid pace in Latin America. The impacts of climate change and inadequate institutional frameworks - the laws, regulations, and norms that shape socioeconomic activity - may compromise this economic growth. Rapid and unplanned expansion makes those cities vulnerable to extreme weather and failures in the delivery of public services. Research into action The project funds will provide support to the Fundacio¿n Futuro Latinoamericano to develop two research calls to address these issues and promote the uptake of research results by local policymakers. The goal is to deliver high-quality, demand-led, applied research projects and knowledge management strategies that will help translate research results into policy actions. The project's outcomes will offer local decision-makers practical solutions to enable the adoption of climate resilient policies. The research will specifically address water supply management and provide guidance on how to integrate gender practices into climate resilient plans for five Latin American cities. This project is expected to yield the following results: -five fast-growing cities in Latin America will take a leadership role on climate resilience policies, which include gender practices at the national and regional levels -the research team will develop resilience management tools -local governments will develop skills and knowledge to implement Intended Nationally Determined Contributions for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions

Participatory planning for climate resilient and inclusive urban development in Dosquebradas, Santa Ana and Santa Tomé Article
By engaging government officials and politicians, academics, technical specialists, and representatives of civil society organizations in interviews, workshops, and focus group discussions, this project sought to identify a range of feasible options for climate resilient and inclusive urban development. The study tested a participatory methodology and tools to support cities in developing climate resilient and inclusive urban planning. Most local governments lack the knowledge and capacity to take actions to reduce disaster risks and incorporate climate resilience into their development strategies and plans, particularly small- and medium-sized cities in the global South.

Synthesis report : contributions of the climate-resilient cities in Latin America initiative Study
The Climate-Resilient Cities (CRC) initiative generated solutions that promote climate-resilient development in small and medium-sized cities in Latin America. These solutions offer decision makers a range of options for enhancing climate-resilient urban planning, and also contribute to building knowledge within academia and across communities that are working on urban and climate change issues. The impacts of climate change in the region will mainly affect water availability, the spread of vector-borne diseases and food production and quality according to the Climate Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) Executive Summary (Fifth IPCC Assessment Report).
