Summary
This guide presents a scenario involving Barrio Inundado, a low-income coastal neighborhood in South America, to illustrate the process of consulting residents on climate vulnerability and developing resilience plans.
Key insights
- Barrio Inundado, a low-income coastal neighborhood in South America, faces increasing coastal and inland flooding driven by climate change, specifically through sea level rise, more frequent storm surges, and heavier rainfall that causes the local river to burst its banks.
- To improve climate resilience in Barrio Inundado, a Climate Change Officer proposed a set of measures including the creation of volunteer networks for sandbag installation and assisting vulnerable residents during evacuations, improving hydrological projections via university liaison, updating city zoning plans and building codes, and installing a breakwater combined with restored mangroves.
