Subject. This article discusses the issues of climate change and urban redevelopment.
Objectives. The article aims to identify features of adaptation of cities to climate change and select adaptive measures and actions for Moscow.
Methods. For the study, I used general scientific research methods.
Results. The article identifies climate change impacts observed in Moscow and describes certain measures to mitigate them.
Conclusions. The measures currently implemented in Moscow to adapt to climate change are non-systemic, so it is necessary to develop a comprehensive climate change adaptation plan using international practices.

Keywords: climate change, adapting, adaptation of cities, sustainability
