传统的自上而下减少气候变化相关风险的战略往往未能在全球南方脆弱的城市地区产生切实的成果。基于不同利益相关者之间共同制定适应解决方案的方法提供了有希望的替代战略。这份报告借鉴了我们在两个拉丁美洲城市麦德林（哥伦比亚）和普埃布拉（墨西哥）不断发展的非正规和低收入城市地区的经验。这些社区缺乏足够的清洁水，并面临与日益频繁的高强度降雨事件相关的风险，使水管理成为减少风险的关键考虑因素。然而，导致水资源不足的因素和对风险的认识在每个地区都有所不同，这表明需要根据具体情况制定解决方案。我们将探讨如何通过确定、实施和扩大旨在减少气候变化相关风险的技术上适当和文化上可持续的解决方案，在一系列地理尺度上增加社区机构和共同创造风险管理知识，从而有助于纠正现有的社会和环境不公正。
Traditional top-down strategies to reduce climate-change-related risks have often failed to produce tangible results in vulnerable urban areas of the Global South. Approaches based on the co-production of adaptation solutions between diverse stakeholders offer promising alternative strategies. This contribution draws on our experiences in growing informal and low-income urban areas in two Latin American cities, Medell�n (Colombia) and Puebla (Mexico). These communities lack adequate access to clean water and are exposed to risks related to increasingly frequent high-intensity rainfall events, making water management a key consideration for risk reduction. However, the factors driving insufficient water access and the perceptions of risks vary in each location, demonstrating the need for context-specific solutions. We explore how increasing community agency and co-creating knowledge for risk management between diverse stakeholders at a range of geographical scales can contribute to redressing existing social and environmental injustices, by identifying, implementing, and scaling up technically appropriate and culturally sustainable solutions aimed at reducing climate-change-related risks.
