Abstract

Cities worldwide are facing varying degrees of ongoing threats closely tied to climate change. Research is emerging that addresses climate risks as a pressing issue, especially for vulnerable cities in the Global South; however, there is a significant lack of systematic and application-oriented research on ecosystem-based adaptation to urban climate change. This study uses Shenyang in Northeast China as a case study, employing multisource data and integrated methods to examine and depict the dynamics of urban ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change amid rapid urbanization. The results indicate a decline in capacity for climate change adaptation during the study period. A framework for mainstreaming ecosystem-based adaptation is proposed, identifying specific strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation in urban policy and planning processes in Shenyang. It also has significance for other cities to draw lessons from. By linking urban ecosystem dynamics, the capacity for urban climate adaptation, and sustainable urban governance, this study bridges the gap between research and practice in urban climate change adaptation, and expands the contribution of geography-based interdisciplinary integration to urban resilience. More practically, it provides references for Shenyang in adapting to climate change and transitioning to sustainable development.
