The interviews discussed how practitioners account for long-term climate risks and uncertainties while preparing urban planning strategies. Participants answered a series of questions through semi-structured interviews to reflect on the following:

1- the requirements and constraints city planning authorities and experts face while charting goals to manage long-term climate risks and uncertainties.
2 - the variables and values that guide long-term urban planning actions (climatological, environmental, cultural, socio-economic and technological).

The publicly available supporting documents are:
- Template of the informed consent form. Interview participants gave their verbal consent for the interviews.
- Project note with the interview agenda.
- Detailed semi-structured interview protocol.
