Steps in the Action Plan
In order to prepare Curitiba to the inevitable consequences of climate change, the Curitiba Municipal Government formulated an Action Plan including actions for medium and long term that will base in a technical and scientific way the
proposition of the Municipal Plan for Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change and after wide debate with Curitiba community will be turned into a Muncipal Law. The steps of this Action Plan are as follows:
The Curitiba municipality's emissions totaled 3.23 million tCO2eq.
The energy sector was most responsible for emissions (88.9%)
The waste treatment sector accounted for 11.05% of emissions
The forests of Curitiba withdraw annually 93087.7 tCO2eq. or 2.88% of total emissions
Step 1. The inventory of emission sources of greenhouse gases
Executed phase 1 – running 2
•Forest cover in Curitiba has stored
therein 168.25 tC / ha.
•This represents 4,251,880 t CO2
equivalent fixed.
• This forest removes from the
atmosphere, approximately 3.5 tC /
ha / year
Step 2 Inventory of absorption sources
(sinks) of greenhouse gases Running
Running the Inventory of absorption sources (sinks) of greenhouse gases in the municipality, with emphasis on municipal forests, to verify how much carbon is already stored and settle the annual absorption capacity of these forests - Executed;
Possible flood áreas - 2060
Step 3 - Vulnerability Study Executed and improving
3. Vulnerability Study of development, indicating which areas the city has the possibility of being hit by floods and flooding, developed in accordance with the climatic consequences of forecasts produced by the most modern climate models available - Executed
From vulnerability studies and from damages studies
are being prepared risk maps to dangerous natural
processes (floods and landslides) that indicate in
which areas the City should step up their actions,
prepared in accordance with local peculiarities - running

Developing the RISK MAP - ATUBA river area
Urban planning – preserving the flood plain as a sistem to flood protection without structural investiments
Step 5– Alert Sistem running and testing
5. Warning System Deployment with rain gauges in real time to enable protect the city with the support of federal entities (CEMADEN, CINDACTA, SIMEPAR) - Run and test.
6-Review and upgrading 6-With the information produced will be updated the actions that will be consolidated in the Municipal Plan for Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change, containing plans, programs and actions to be adopted immediately and in the medium and long term, aiming at reducing emissions, preservation of sinks, and the preparation of the city and its population to the consequences of climate change. This is a participatory process through the Municipal Forum on Climate Change (community, academia and government) and public hearings in all Regional Administrations.
Examples of Curitiba actions in resilience, , GHG and risk management
• To know (scientific knowledge) about the
natural processes • To live harmoniously with natural processes • Examples of actions:
– GHG inventory and mitigation – “Re-naturalization” of rivers – Community groups of resilience – Transforming natural parks in flood control areas – Alert system for floods in real time

Challenge for CB-27
• Considering that Brazil is a large country with different regions, and the people who is in the Secretary position is very heterogeneous and changeable, what could be an efficient strategy to the group CB-27 to improve his capacity in push all the Brazilian State capitals to a new level in resilience policies?
Concluding
• Natural and social processes do not respect political borders (municipalities, countries or even continents).
• To have a resilient city is important to have a management style that prioritizes harmony with natural processes
