Adapting to Climate Change by Plante & Cité explores how cities can harness the power of nature to build resilience against rising temperatures, urban heat islands, and extreme weather events. Through applied research and case studies, the publication highlights practical, science-based approaches such as urban greening, soil conservation, and water-sensitive design to mitigate overheating and enhance thermal comfort in dense urban areas. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding local microclimates through data collection and modelling to guide adaptive planning and effective climate action at every scale.
The document showcases how vegetation, green roofs, permeable surfaces, and local biodiversity contribute to cooler, healthier, and more livable cities. Beyond technical strategies, it calls for coordinated planning, sustainable water management, and the protection of urban soils as essential tools in long-term adaptation. By integrating nature into city planning, Adapting to Climate Change presents a vision for transitioning urban environments toward ecological balance and climate resilience.
