PA21D:
Implementing Science Tools for Cities and Climate Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 50890

Session Description:
Human-caused climate change presents significant risks to cities beyond the familiar ones caused by natural variations in climate and seasonal weather patterns. One of the foundations for effective urban adaptation is the co-development of plans by stakeholders and scientists who can provide city-scale information about climate risks— both current risks and projections of future changes, including extreme events. This process requires support from a set of key science tools that enable a more complete understanding of the urban environment. These tools and the growing field of urban climate science can help cities, already leaders in action, respond to climate change. This session will share the latest advances in how cities are using science data and products to respond to climate change, capturing perspectives from cities around the globe and highlighting results from the just published Urban Climate Change Research Network (UCCRN) Second Assessment Report on Climate Change and Cities (ARC3.2).
