Les midi-séminaires: Adapting to Climate Change in Cities of Developing Countries
Amélie Boudot
À l’occasion du premier midi-séminaire cet automne Camila Florez Bossio, candidate Ph.D à McGill dans le département de Géographie, présentera « Adapting to Climate Change in Cities of Developing Countries: An Urban Dwellers’ Perspective ».
Climate change places worldwide populations of urban areas at high risk. In cities of the developing world, the situation is critical as economic, social, and institutional challenges exacerbate local sensitivities and decrease urban populations’ capacities to adapt. Nonetheless, much of the empirical research is strongly oriented towards policy and governance questions at the city scale. This talk will critically examine current literature on urban adaptation to climate change in developing countries, and then present preliminary findings of a case study that assesses how residents of Lima, Peru adapt to climate-related risks to their water security.
À noter que cette conférence sera donnée en anglais.
