The Climate Resilient City Action Plan (CRCAP) for Coimbatore has been developed using the Climate Resilient Cities Methodology. This Methodology is tailor made for Local Governments (LGs), providing step by step guidance for the development of a Climate Resilient City Action Plan that addresses both, climate change adaptation and climate change mitigation. This process is based on the premise that climate resilience refers to both climate change mitigation and adaptation, and linkages therein. The process equips LGs to estimate the GHG intensity of city activities, assess the climate risks of various systems in the city in the context of urbanization and vulnerability, identify actions to address existing and forecasted climate fragility and develop an implementation and monitoring plan, which will not only help the city to adapt to existing and impending climate change impacts, but will also steer the city‟s focus to climate change mitigation measures as well. This process builds on ICLEI‟s Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) Campaign, ICLEI‟s flagship mitigation program, the GreenClimateCities (GCC) program and ICLEI‟s adaptation tool-kit, the ICLEI Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) Process or IAP toolkit.
