Climate Risk Management in established Industrial Zones- Guide for Industrial Zone Managers
© GIZ, Climate Risk Management
The guide is a practical manual for Industrial Zone Managers to help them develop an Adaptation Strategy in a participative process. The guide gives in-depth information concerning the topic of Climate change and adaptation, and enables them to do a quick assessment of their vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and to develop an adaptation strategy. The guide furthermore provides recommendations on how to integrate Adaptation into the management activities and service offer of an industrial zone, and how to raise awareness about the topic among their enterprises. Methodologies, analytical frameworks, best cases and further references are provided, as well as recommendations based on the project experience in Morocco. It is available in French.
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.
