“…As the debate concerning climate change has shifted from an emphasis mainly on mitigation to a discussion of combined mitigation and adaptation strategies (IPCC, 2013), so the role of urban planning grows in significance and its effect on possible future urban landscapes increases proportionately (see Meyer et al, 2010). However much of the recent discussion on the subject of climate change and urban planning focuses on avoiding development in risky areas (e.g.…”

“…The institution of planning has been significant in influencing adaptation, particularly the 2008 VCS, subsequent planning scheme amendments, policy guidance, and legal decisions. This aligns with theory advocating spatial planning's ability to facilitate adaptation (Hurlimann & March, 2012;Measham et al, 2011;Meyer et al, 2010;Tribbia & Moser, 2008;Wilson, 2006). A key question we seek to address is whether the actions which have sought to adapt to sea-level rise in Lakes Entrance are sustainable.…”

“…There is little doubt that urban planning will be a critical driver of adaptation to sea-level rise (Hurlimann & March, 2012;Measham, Preston, Smith, Brooke, Goddard, Withycombe, & Morrison, 2011;Meyer, Rannow, & Loibl, 2010;Tribbia & Moser, 2008;Wilson, 2006). One of the challenges facing urban planning as it seeks to respond to sea-level rise is defining the measures of successful adaptation.…”

Sea-level rise poses major challenges to coastal land uses, and therefore to urban planning processes. In theory, if done well, urban planning can lead to responses to sea-level rise that are socially and environmentally sustainable. In practice, urban planning processes may fall short of this ideal. We use multiple methods to describe and analyse how urban planning processes have led to adaptation to sealevel rise in Lakes Entrance in Victoria, Australia. Adaptation has principally taken the form of restrictions on development on low-lying land. In this town, which is considered particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise, the urban planning process and its outcomes have been controversial and divisive. Policies at the state level were imposed rapidly on this particular local community, and were later applied across the state. Our findings support the emerging consensus that to be sustainable, urban planning needs to: facilitate local ownership of adaptation responses; build collective action within local communities and between local communities and different arms and levels of government; and be fair in its application across space and over time. Addressing these social dimensions of adaptation takes time, but they are a sine qua non of sustainable adaptation to sea-level rise.

“…Spatial planning has an important role in dealing with climate change because of place-bound nature. Climate change adaptation and mitigation at regional level is considered as a new field of spatial planning research and practice [30][31][32]. Climate change is impacting the ecological processes and distribution of species and causing the biodiversity loss [33][34][35].…”

The climate change is an important global issue impacting the water resources worldwide. The environmental changeability would lead to rapid melting of glaciers and increased evaporation rates leading to the shortage of available water resources. The climate change would also increase the frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events such as droughts, heat waves and cold epochs etc., and hydrological response such as floods. The human activities significantly impact the water resources availability. The increasing concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, for example methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and Ozone (O3) significantly contribute to the climate change and influence the water resources. This systematic review is focused on the impacts of climate change and human activities on the water resources. These changes will profoundly impact the development of the different regions of the world economically and socially. The climate change impacts the vegetation with changes in distribution, growing seasons and productions. The physiological and hydrological processes are also being affected by climate change and because of human being.
