Abstract:
Urban regions are dynamic and complex systems, highly sensitive to disruptions, requiring coordination among diverse stakeholders due to the interdependence of their strategic services and assets. Climate change (CC) exacerbates existing challenges and introduces new hazards such as intense rainfall, droughts, and heat waves, affecting strategic services and their infrastructure, populations, ecosystems, and economies. Water, green spaces, and biodiversity are deeply interconnected. The increasing interdependence between ecosystems and human societies underscores the need for building resilience across all systems (UNDRR, 2023). Enhancing urban systems resilience to CC and other pressures is vital to ensure sustainability and reduce risks to human and natural systems.
