Sustainable development in cities: collaborating to improve urban climate resilience and develop the business case for adaptation

Eckersley, P.; England, K.; Ferry, L.

Abstract

Fragmented governance contexts make it difficult for public bodies to direct and control climate adaptation initiatives. This paper highlights how Newcastle City Council collaborated with local partners to create a shared understanding of how a major storm could affect public services across North East England. This helped the authority to develop a business case to invest in infrastructure that will help to protect future generations from severe weather events.
