摘要
This paper outlines the development of the first municipal adaptation plans for climate change in Durban, South Africa. Particular attention is paid to the storm water and coastal plans developed for the water sector. Key adaptation activities in the main operational departments are highlighted as well as the key challenges and lessons learned during the development of the plans. Three factors were significant in determining the success of the project: (1) the emergence of political and technical champions, (2) the existence of high level technical expertise within the municipality and (3) broad based and appropriate communication with stakeholders.
