Since the publication of AR5, there has been rapid expansion in policy, practice and research related to climate change and human settlements. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development  agreed in September 2015, was preceded by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-30 and followed shortly afterwards by the Paris Agreement  . These make explicit mention of 'mainstreaming of disaster risk assessments into land use policy development and implementation, including urban planning'  . The agreements identify 'sustainable cities and communities'  and'cities and subnational authorities'  as important actors in integrating climate and development goals . However not all urban SDGs have measurable targets yet, or data, particularly in regard to children and youth, the elderly and disabled . Clear procedures for linking climate adaptation in communities at all scales to the SDGs is lacking .
