Abstract
In 2015, a team from I2UD contributed to the Planning for Climate Adaptation Program of the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and USAID, working with four municipalities in the Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo National District, Santiago de los Caballeros, San Pedro de Macorís, and Las Terrenas).
The projects focused on three main objectives: 1) Improving the technical and management capacity of municipal planners; 2) Incorporating climate change adaptation considerations into the municipal planning process; and 3) Supporting the scale-up of climate resilient land use planning best practices to other municipalities in the Dominican Republic.
Documents include two official reports, an overview of I2UD’s involvement including curriculum, case studies, and scope of work, and NOAH case study and timeline.
