The paper suggests some entry points to support the work of four municipal governments (Carmelo and Juan Lacaze, Uruguay; Tigre and San Fernando, Argentina) and their at-risk communities, in drafting local climate change adaptation guidelines, towards their inclusion in local development plans. The project involves generating a local information base (hydro-meteorological, socio-institutional, economic, and urban) to better inform local decisions, and to discuss present disaster risk situations and future scenarios.application/pdfenCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONFLOOD RISKLOCAL GOVERNANCEMULTI-STAKEHOLDER PROCESSESRIO DE LA PLATAARGENTINAURUGUAYRESILIENCESOUTH AMERICARIVER BASINSCOASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENTESTUARIESAdvancing on local urban climate change agendas through multi – stakeholder collaboration : presentation; Session “D3 Planning for resilient cities in Latin America and Asia”Conference Paper
