This book aims to integrate climate mitigation and adaptation tools
into conventional urban planning. It emphasizes the value
and importance of ICT as connected technology. The author believes
that ICT and IOT can facilitate controlling climate change attributes
when deployed with appropriate ingredients and composition in cities
in an integrated comprehensive manner. It was written with
the author's firm belief that cities play an important role
in mitigating climate change by reducing energy
consumption, promoting the use of renewable energy sources, or
by trading emission permits and selling Certified Emission Rights
(CERs). This book looks at green growth based on the circular
economy using green smart technology as a sustainable tool
for green economic development. Also for climate change
adaptation, cities have to take actions to reduce the adverse
impacts of climate change on people, property and ecosystems in the
urban planning process. It has been written with the author's works
for Urban Environment Accords
(UEA) and International Urban Training Center (IUTC) in
collaboration with UNEP, World Bank, UNFCCC and UN-HABITAT. It can
be used as a training source book for city climate planners and
urban practitioners of local governments. It will be utilized as
a more practical guidebook for climate change policy makers as
well as a futuristic research agenda for next generations.
