ABSTRACT: Adopted by the UN member states in 2015, the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 is detailed into 17 Sustainable Development Goals. It was the first time that the UN and the international community had generally recognised the key role of municipalities for development. The development agenda is to address issues that are primarily local problems that cannot be resolved without local government participating. It is towns and cities that are the bodies that have the means and the skills to improve administration and plan for and implement solutions locally. Towns and communities are targeted primarily in Goal 11 ‘Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable’, which is comprised of a range of secondary targets and tasks including mitigating climate change impacts, adapting settlements to climate change impacts and reducing disaster risk. Complex strategies of municipalities adapting to climate change impacts will be demonstrated on an example of a city and two towns in the Czech Republic: Hradec Králové, Žďár nad Sázavou and Dobruška.
