There is a need to take the ''climate change'' issue into account in landscape planning studies for Karachi for the purpose of better landscape management and protection which can help to ease the effects of climatic changes on natural vegetation, human life and natural resources.

	Restoring the floodplains was a ‘no regrets’ adaptation that is robust in managing climatic variability and change, and has extensive environmental and socio-economic co-benefits. In this case larger floods can be more safely managed. The environment has benefitted through improved water quality, recovery of flora and fauna, conservation of threatened species and designation of nature reserves. While 2.4 million people were relocated from the most flood-prone lands to adjacent, higher ground, in general their livelihoods and resilience have improved. Full case study can be read at [http://www.worldresourcesreport.org/files/wrr/wrr_case_study_controlling_yangtze_river_floods.pdf Controlling Yangtze River Floods: A New Approach]		Restoring the floodplains was a ‘no regrets’ adaptation that is robust in managing climatic variability and change, and has extensive environmental and socio-economic co-benefits.
