Guideline for Adaptation and Increasing Resilience of Industrial Parks to the Impacts of Climate Change
Manual

Main features and components

The guideline provides orientation and develops a standard approach and methodology on how to plan for adaptation and increasing resilience of existing and upcoming industrial areas in APIIC/TSIIC.

Generally, there are two possible scenarios for CCA planning:

1. For new IPs the preparation of a master plan is a mandatory step. In the future, CCA concerns need to be integrated comprehensively in such master plans and the related planning and decision making processes.
2. For existing IPs, a CCA action plan needs to be prepared containing actual CCA measures. There are two sub-scenarios: (a) making an entire IP climate resilient and (b) implementing a specific measure or several measures.

Implementation / work steps

In general, the following steps need to be considered and completed:

1. A climate risk analysis identifying the main hazards the IP is exposed to, the IPs vulnerability and the resulting risks;
2. The identification, selection, and prioritization of CCA measures based on specific criteria of importance and cost;
3. Funding and implementation of the identified measures;
4. Continuous monitoring, evaluation and learning.

Thus, the guidelines are organised along the following chapters:

1. Adaptation to Climate Change of Industrial Areas
2. Climate Risk Analysis of Industrial Parks
3. Climate Risk Impact Assessment of various Hazards
4. Adaptation Planning & Implementation Process

Output

Industrial parks can better adapt and increase their resilience to the impacts of climate change.
