This Guide presents a selection of examples of what is being done to increase climate mitigation and resilience in Latin American cities. These examples show that mitigation can provide benefits well beyond stabilising global climate change, and in fact compliment adaptation efforts by helping establish a stable microclimate, increase economic and energy efficiency, and improve living conditions. Readers in the developing world will find these examples useful in their own endeavours as they contribute to the sustainable development of cities in their own countries.
