The cities face climate change impacts affecting multiple areas, services and sectors where planning and management at the local level can provide solutions.

It aims to be an instrument of technical support for Spanish local governments, providing them tools to achieve a model of sustainable development, while providing a forum to exchange knowledge and experiences.
