How could cities best adapt to the anticipated impacts of global warming?
Program Leaders: Prof Peter Hayes, Prof Felicity Roddick
Program Manager: Barbara Norman
The Climate Change Adaptation Program (CCAP) explores new solutions for infrastructure, methods of communication and transport - among other adaptive responses.
Our Goal:
To create a global framework for the infrastructural adaptation of cities to climate change.
Our Objectives:
- to complete an assessment of the relative vulnerability of strategically-chosen cities in the Asia Pacific region.
- to design strategies to increase resilience of those cities in relation to climate-change impacts.
- to implement an initiative composed of specific urban-infrastructural adaptive responses based on RMIT’s scientific and technological innovations that exemplify the general global principles that should frame urban climate-change adaptation.
