Potential climate/ disaster impacts addressed by approach & Justification for approach:
The vast majority of Mexican cities have problems with water, either due to lack of quality and quantity, or flooding and waterlogging caused by heavy rains. Both phenomena are expected to increase in the coming years due to climate change due to the increase in droughts and torrential rain.
Process of Implementation:
Through an international consultancy, a tool for assessing the impacts of Green Infrastructure was developed. A first version was tested with 11 projects of the Urban Improvement Program, of SEDATU and to evaluate 3 projects accompanied by the project. From these tests, an adjustment of the tool was made and a presentation event was held with SEDATU, local governments and academics to publicize the tool.
