Abstract
Peri-urban areas serve cities through their supporting capacities (ecosystem services, rural-urban connections and input-output systems), and assimilating capacities (urban discharge and waste). Climate change, land-use changes and natural resource degradation are disaster risk drivers. Ecosystems are a critical and common component across these dimensions. This document provides a detailed training design and plan, with modules that can bridge performance gaps of stakeholders while promoting a systematic approach to understanding peri-urban ecosystems. Detailed analysis in city contexts help to identify points of policy, strategy and activities where interventions can build the capacity of specific departments/actors involved in developing resilient cities.
