Climate Resilience Assessment and Enhancement Countermeasures for Yellow River Basin Cities
Enhancing climate resilience is an implicit requirement for the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.Based on the IPCC"disaster-exposure-vulnerability"climate risk framework and the resilience theoretical framework"engineering resilience-ecological resilience-evolutionary resilience",the climate resilience level of the Yellow River Basin will be systematically assessed.The results reveal that(1)the climate risk and urban resilience level of the Yellow River Basin have obvious geographical variability,both presenting the spatial characteristics of upstream>middlestream>downstream;(2)the climate risk level of the Yellow River Basin tends to rise,and the downstream area rises the most significantly,which is a hotspot for extreme rainfall and extreme high temperatures;(3)the urban types within the Yellow River watershed are characterized by vulnerable and high-risk cities,with significant shifts and transitions occurring over time and space.In order to effectively respond to climate change risks,climate response strategies should be differentiated,and engineering resilience,ecological resilience,economic resilience and social resilience should be synergistically promoted,so as to enhance the basin's climate resilience and sustainable development capacity.
