Building Climate Resilience with the Triple-A Toolkit (Analysis, Ambition, Action)

Key Learnings

• Triple-A Toolkit: A flexible toolset supporting three main activities, “analysis”, “ambition”, and “action” (triple-A), that allows cities to assess climate impacts and risks, define objectives and goals, and plan and implement climate adaptation strategies while fostering stakeholder collaboration.
• Flexible, Tailored Approaches: Compared to fixed step-by-step guidelines, the Triple-A framework’s adaptable and flexible structure allows cities to start their climate adaptation journey based on their current capacity, providing tailored tools and resources for the different stages of urban resilience planning.
• Kickstarting Adaptation in Less Mature Cities:  Logroño (Spain) had limited prior adaptation practices. With the help of the Triple-A Toolkit, the city is taking concrete steps in assessing risks and planning climate adaptation measures.

Summary

The Triple-A Toolkit offers tools and services to support the analysis, ambition, and action needed to achieve climate resilience. The city of Logroño has progressed in climate change adaptation by utilising the Triple-A tools. The project team assessed heat and flood risks and identified suitable measures for current and future risk reduction. Climate Resilient Development Pathways help Logroño plan long-term climate action. Worth mentioning that any city or region can apply the Triple-A Toolkit, regardless of its current level, capacity, and maturity in adaptation planning.
