The Primer is an introduction to the key principles and practices of low carbon, climate resilient development.  It includes resources and organizations which provide more in-depth guidance on planning and implementation. It was built around examples of best practices in cities in developing countries, where the term cities applies broadly to government levels below the national level, including regional, state, provincial, district, and city levels.
