Taking the heat: making cities resilient to climate change
Climate change is a global issue, but cities—particularly ones with high population densities and robust economic activity—are likely to find themselves on the frontlines of adapting to climate extremes.

Cities will need to seek new and innovative sources of financing to support their adaptation to climate change.
