workshop is designed to help decision-makers learn about how communities can
prepare for climate change. Case studies demonstrating how different communities
have approached adaptation planning will be presented with a view to extracting
transferable lessons and practices from these models. The workshop will also
kick-off an opportunity for <st1:place>Cape</st1:place> towns to receive
technical assistance to develop climate adaptation plans.<SPAN
