This work presents an evaluation and comparative analysis of the adaptation plans of different Brazilian cities, considering the risks and vulnerabilities. For this, a literature review, and analysis of national public policies and adaptation plans of some Brazilian cities are carried out. The document uses the Climate Change Adaptation Guide for Federative Entities (WWF, 2017) as a methodological reference. The adaptation plans of Brazilian cities are analyzed through an analysis matrix according to the following evaluation criteria: 1. Obtaining climate projections; 2 Identification of risks and vulnerabilities of regions, populations and sectors; 3 Identification of alternative adaptation and vulnerability minimization measures; 4 Prioritization of measures (following explicit and transparent criteria); 5 Mainstreaming of the proposed actions in sectoral policies, plans and projects; 6. Identification of gaps in the government s planning capacity and implementation of strengthening measures. Subsequently, the results are discussed, identifying good practices, points of attention and challenges for the improvement of the adaptation plans of Brazilian cities. Finally, based on the evaluations of the adaptation plans, a guide is made with the best practices and points of attention for the climate adaptation plan of Niterói.
