(i.e., facilities that are located and built<br />
to withstand and function during climate<br />

reduce climate change impacts amongst<br />
vulnerable groups<br />

green energy, conservation)<br />
<br />
municipal water supply, treatment and<br />
distribution and adaptive measures to<br />
counter them<br />
