Climate Change
Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies
Mitigation and adaptation strategies to limit the effects of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions are crucial to achieve sustainable development. Climate change affects water resources in terms of quantity and quality. It alters the functions of many ecosystems with a negative effect on terrestrial, freshwater and marine species. It impinges on the well‐being of people. The introduction of vegetated green and blue infrastructure at city‐scale curbs CO2 levels. This regulates microclimate, reducing the Urban Heat Island phenomenon. Employing green and blue infrastructure (GBI) within stormwater management improves its quality, decreasing untreated water loads on conventional sewage systems and the impact of metropolitan areas on river pollution.
