Climate change has severe consequences on ecosystem processes, as well as on people's quality of life. It has been suggested that the loss of vegetation cover increases the land surface temperature (LST) due to modifications in biogeochemical patterns, generating a phenomenon known as "urban heat island" (UHI). The aim of this work was to analyze the effects of urban land-cover changes on the spatiotemporal variation of surface temperature in the tropical city of Mérida, Mexico. To find these effects we used both detected land-cover changes as well as variations of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Mérida is ranked worldwide as one of the best cities to live due to its quality of life. Data from satellite images of Landsat were analyzed to calculate land use change (LUC), LST, and NDVI. LST increased ca. 4 °C in the dry season and 3 °C in the wet season because of the LUC. In addition, a positive relationship between the LST and the NDVI was observed mainly in the dry season. The results confirm an increase in the LST as a consequence of the loss of vegetation cover, which favors the urban heat island phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cities are recognised as key players in global adaptation and mitigation efforts because the majority of people live in cities. However, in Europe, which is highly urbanized and one of the most advanced regions in terms of environmental policies, there is considerable diversity in the regional distribution, ambition and scope of climate change responses. This paper explores potential factors contributing to such diversity in 200 large and medium-sized cities across 11 European countries. We statistically investigate institutional, socio-economic, environmental and vulnerability characteristics of cities as potential drivers of or barriers to the development of urban climate change plans. Our results show that factors such as membership of climate networks, population size, GDP per capita and adaptive capacity act as drivers of mitigation and adaptation plans. By contrast, factors such as the unemployment rate, warmer summers, proximity to the coast and projected exposure to future climate impacts act as barriers. We see that, overall, it is predominantly large and prosperous cities that engage in climate planning, while vulnerable cities and those at risk of severe climate impacts in the future are less active. Our analysis suggests that climate change planning in European cities is not proactive, i.e. not significantly influenced by anticipated future impacts. Instead, we found that the current adaptive capacity of a city significantly relates to climate planning. Along with the need to further explore these relations, we see a need for more economic and institutional support for smaller and less resourceful cities and those at high risk from climate change impacts in the future.

Humanity is urbanizing rapidly. By now every second world citizen lives in cities. Scenarios suggest that by the middle of this century, almost 70 per cent of the global population will be urban. At the same time, cities constitute both sources but also potential solutions to climate change and other sustainability challenges. While there is an increasingly amount of research dealing with specific aspects of urban sustainability, new ap proaches that merge different knowledges have great potential in finding optimal, or at least appropriate, pathways that could minimize the negative impacts as well as maximize the positive outcomes of the urbanization process. The fields of urban and public economics provide a useful framework to analyse urbanization dynamics in terms of its drivers and impacts. Climate change and sustainability literature provide valuable insights to understand urbanization effects other than local ones. The combination of these literatures has great potential to assist local policy-makers in the development of accurate planning interventions for achieving long-term urban sustainability. The research presented in this thesis identifies public interventions that foster less carbon-intense urban forms, enhance fiscal stability and promote social equity simultaneously. Particularly, two mechanisms are analysed to achieve these outcomes. The first one considers urban planning -including land use and fiscal policies- as a steering mechanism that accounts for externalities arising from urban development. The second one looks at institutional and governance structures that maximize the beneficial effects of public interventions. A combination of theoretical and empirical research is conducted to determine instrument designs that perform better on the above objectives. Having this information at hand, specific policy suggestions on how to maximize positive intervention outcomes are proposed and further discussed. Understanding the interactions between different planning tools, policy agendas and urban contexts is a sine qua non condition to long-term sustainability not only in cities, but also worldwide. Die Menschheit urbanisiert sich rasend schnell. Mittlerweile lebt jeder zweiter Weltbürger in einer Stadt. Projektionen deuten darauf hin, dass bis Mitte dieses Jahrhunderts fast 70 Prozent der Weltbevölkerung in Städten leben werden. Gleichzeitig sind Städte sowohl Verursacher als auch Teil möglicher Lösungen der Herausforderungen von Klimawandels und Nachhaltigkeitsabwägungen. Während sich ein wachsender Teil der Forschung mit spezifischen Aspekten der städtischen Nachhaltigkeit beschäftigt, haben neue Ansätze, die verschiedene Erkenntnisse verschmelzen großes Potenzial bei der Suche nach optimalen oder zumindest geeigneten Wegen, mit dem die negative Auswirkungen der Urbanisierung minimiert sowie deren positive Aspekte verstärkt werden könnten. Die Forschungsfelder Ökonomie der Städte und Öffentliche Ökonomie stellen einen nützlichen Rahmen für die Analyse von Urbanisierungsdynamiken in Bezug auf ihre Treiber und Auswirkungen dar. Die Literatur zu Klimawandel und Nachhaltigkeit erlaubt wertvolle Einblicke in die Verstädterung sowie deren globale Wechselwirkungen. Die Kombination dieser Literaturzweige hat großes Potenzial lokale politische Entscheidungsträger bei der Entwicklung von besserer Interventionsplanung zur Unterstützung sowie längerfristig die Nachhaltigkeit in Städten zu unterstützen. Die Forschung in dieser Arbeit identifiziert institutionelle Interventionsmöglichkeiten, die weniger CO2-intensive urbane Formen fördern, die finanzpolitische Stabilität verbessern und gleichzeitig soziale Gerechtigkeit fördern können. Insbesondere werden zwei Mechanismen analysiert, um diese Ziele zu erreichen. Der erste Mechanismus betrachtet Stadtplanung (einschließlich Landnutzungs- und Steuerpolitik) als Lenkmechanismus der weiteren Externalitäten in der Stadtentwicklung Rechnung trägt. Der zweite Mechanismus befaßt sich mit institutionellen und Governance-Strukturen, die die positiven Auswirkungen der staatlichen Interventionen maximieren. Diese Arbeit kombiniert theoretische und empirische Ansätze um Instrumentendesigns zu bestimmen, welche die oben genannten Ziele besser umsetzen können. Auf Grundlage dieser Ergebnisse werden spezifische politische Vorschläge erarbeitet und diskutiert, welche die positive Auswirkungen von Interventionen maximieren. Das Verständnis der Wechselwirkungen zwischen den verschiedenen Planungsinstrumenten, politischen Zielen und städtischen Kontexten ist eine Bedingung sine qua non zur Erreichung langfristiger Nachhaltigkeit nicht nur in urbanen Räumen, sondern auch in ländlichen Gegenden weltweit.
