The Protection of Green Spaces for Climate Change Adaptation identifies how spatial planning and climate change adaptation are linked by examining the protection of green spaces in cities across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South America and Australia.

This book identifies how, in each case, spatial planning instruments can influence the protection of green spaces, and whether – and if so how – they are being adapted in response to actual and expected effects from climate change. In doing so, the institutional frameworks of each country analysed are first presented. This provides the basis for discussing the key problems occurring at the state (and city) level in responding to the challenges of climate change adaptation, especially for the protection of green spaces. In the individual chapters, the issues identified above will be analysed from the perspective of diverse countries: Australia, Ghana, Iran, Mexico, Brazil and Poland. The contributors in this edited collection will present how the indicated issue is identified in systems that are diverse in many respects. This book concludes by demonstrating how the relationship between climate change adaptation and spatial planning can be framed in a more universal way, taking into account the international case studies that have been presented. This book deals extensively with both climate change adaptation issues and comparisons of spatial planning systems.

By focusing on a synthesis of these issues, this book will add significantly to the discussion, providing a new basis for theoretical and practical considerations. It will be of interest to researchers and students of spatial planning, public policy, environmental protection, climate protection and law, as well as professionals working in these areas.
