Cities and Climate Change
Published in Earth & Environment
Cities are now the center of human activities. Thus, the increasing risks from climate change are reshaping the cities, and cities are becoming the main contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Climate actions on city level are becoming the key component in both mitigation and adaptation.
As such, we are glad to present a new online Focus on Cities and Climate Change. In advance of the upcoming Climate COP30 (Nov 2025) and The IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities (March 2027), the Focus is a collaboration between Nature Climate Change and Nature Cities. We feature opinioned pieces and research articles from the two journals, covering topics including the climate impact on cities, mitigation and adaptation measures, governance and policies, etc.
Some pieces included in the collections are:
-Editorials from the two journals (NCC, NCities) on the role of cities in climate actions, and future climate-city research
-A Perspective on how to improve the impact of the IPCC Special Report
-A Q&A with C40 mayors on city-level climate actions
-An Article with systematic global stocktake of over 50,000 urban climate change studies
-A Review of city diplomacy’s potential for climate action
