Abstract
This poster/one-page bulletin is produced by the Council for Scientific and Industrial research (CSIR) and summarizes the project objectives to address barriers experienced by local governments in South Africa in creating climate change adaptation strategies for their municipalities. The “Green Book” project compiled climate risk profiles and conceptualized adaptation options for every settlement in South Africa. This poster also features scientific evidence that underpins local adaptation.
