Sumario:The aim of this paper is to investigate how the cities of Natal and Curitiba have incorporated the climate issue, with a special focus on adaptation, totheir urban agendas, understanding how urban planning can contribute to the insertion of local climate adaptive capacity. To that end, the methodology presents a qualitative approach, using bibliographic, documentary and field research, with the application of semi-structured interviews. The collected data are analyzed through content analysis. From the analysis and discussion of the results, we conclude that the incorporation of the climate issue, especially adaptation, in the planning and management of Natal and Curitiba still presents itself as a great and complex challenge.
