Yay Chann argues that it is time for Yangon City to build climate resilienc
Description:
"Last June, a local policy think tank, Another Development, produced a research report related to green spaces in Yangon City. The report pointed out that green spaces in Yangon City had been reduced by nearly 40% over the course of 25 years. In addition, more green spaces in city areas have begun to face the challenges that come along with economic development, population growth, and rapid urbanization. A decline in the number of green spaces in Yangon City is bad, particularly when it comes to building a climate resilient city.
Green spaces are critical in building the environment of a climate resilient city. As a forestry term, green spaces are described as the metaphor of the “sponge” (like those used in washing dishes) because such spaces act like a sponge: they generally absorb and maintain water in rainy season, and gradually release it recharging ground water in summer. Green spaces also play a key role in regulating climate, filtering pollution, and cooling the environment. Therefore, protecting green spaces is important to building climate resilience..."

Description:
"Climate change doesn’t always mean extreme events that leave behind mass destruction and chaos, it isn’t always loud, . Often it’s slow and spookily quiet. This is true for the people of Pakokku, in the dry zone of Myanmar. The land is flat, hot and dry and extremely vulnerable, climate change aggravates these already extreme conditions. People from areas along the river experience flooding and are often forced to leave their homes and take refuge in the local town monastery. Further inland, the region is experiencing chronic water problems, with struggles to continue traditional farming such as growing rice paddy. Myanmar Climate Change Alliance has conducted studies on the current vulnerabilities and projections reveal that temperatures may increase up to maximum 2.7 degrees by 2050 with up to 4-17 hot days per month in the summer season compared to one hot day per month defined historically.
With a loss of traditional livelihoods, many (mostly men) have had to migrate to cities or to neighbouring Thailand in search of work, which makes Pakokku more vulnerable for lack of skilled human resources in the townships, leaving women led households without alternative sources of income..."

Description:
"By 2030, the number of people living in towns
and cities in Myanmar could reach 20.4 million
compared to 14.9 million in 2014. This continuous
urban population growth will influence Myanmar?s
development under the challenges of climate
change in future..."
Expanding cities and towns will emit more
greenhouse gases in future due to construction
growth and increasing demand for energy and
services.
Climate change is expected to have significant
negative impacts on urban centres in Myanmar,
including impact on urban infrastructure and
services, increased rural-urban migration,
enormous socio-economic costs, and health
implications. Unless addressed, these impacts will
impede the country?s development.
