Climate Risk Management in established Industrial Zones - Guide for Industrial Zones Managers
Manual

Main features and components

The objectives of the guide are:

• Provide an introduction to Climate Risks and Adaptation for industrial zones
• Provide recommendations and tools on how to develop an adaptation strategy for an industrial zone
• Provide recommendations and tools on how industrial zone managers can raise awareness and strengthen the climate resilience of businesses

The guide was developed following a bottom-up approach. It is based on the learnings from PSACC pilot project in the region of Souss-Massa, one of the most vulnerable regions to CC in Morocco. A climate risk analysis was conducted for the Ait Melloul Industrial zone, which is located in Agadir and managed by the Commune and a business association. In order to generalize the approach, a workshop was held with a collective of industrial zones (CoZInE), which gathers a variety of industrial zones and parks with different management structures.
