River conservation with riparian management and river cleaning will support low carbon communities [1] This is important in low emission development planning in the cities with the participation of all citizens to achieve environmental sustainability. The ability of adaptation of citizens to face climate change will reduce the economic costs of the impact suffered as a consequence of losses on climate change, indirectly will provide economic resilience to the city. The environmental management aspect becomes a mechanism to strengthen the resilience of the city to handle climate change effects.
