C40 Good Practice GuidesĬ40's Good Practice Guides offer mayors and urban policymakers roadmaps for tackling climate change, reducing climate risk and encouraging sustainable urban development. With 100 case studies taken from cities of every size, geography and stage of development around the world, the Good Practice Guides provide tangible examples of climate solutions that other cities can learn from. Finally, presenting the adaptation measures under the “improved city green space” frame stimulated great enthusiasm and acceptance of major city infrastructure overhaul. Second, the Copenhagen government showed budget creativity by pushing for a change in national level legislation to allow the use of revenues from a water-use fee combined with private financing and revenues from taxes for investment in the water management system. First, the city had experienced repeated extreme weather events, which created political buy-in for change. There are three main reasons for Copenhagen’s success. This is complemented by greenscaping, in particular through implementation of the Sustainable Urban Drainage System – building of green gardens, rooftops and bioswales to prevent rainwater from flowing directly into sewers. ResultsĬopenhagen was able to work with water utility on a comprehensive restructuring of the Copenhagen drainage system (including separation of rainwater from waste water) and streetscape, in order to turn roads into rivers in the case of extreme rain (part of Copenhagen’s “storm water plan”) and direct water to outlets and retention basins. In 2011 the City of Copenhagen adopted the Copenhagen Climate Adaptation Plan xxvii, complemented by the Cloudburst Management Plan xxviii (2012) detailing the methods, priorities, and measures related to adaptation to extreme rainfall events.
#CLOUDBURST 2011 SERIES#
Spurred by a series of highly damaging cloudburst events, including the July 2011 cloudburst that caused damages worth close to €1 billion, Copenhagen needed a better way to manage the water inundating the city during these downpours.
