Plural climate storylines to foster just urban futures - Nature Cities
Abstract Managing climate change-related risks requires robust and actionable insights into future climates. Here we develop the plural climate storylines framework to complement existing physical climate storylines, which have strengthened the usability of climate projections yet struggled to generate action for just climate futures.
Freeing imagination for fair and resilient future cities - Nature Cities
Delivering fair, long-term resilience for tomorrow’s cities means acting now to break cycles of risk accumulation. Inclusive future visioning can help by placing the voices and experiences of those at risk at the start of urban policy, planning and project processes, and integrating this with the best science to reimagine what cities and neighborhoods are for, and could be in the long-term.
A climate resilience research renewal agenda: learning lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic for urban climate resilience
1. Introduction What lessons might the COVID-19 pandemic offer for climate resilience? While impacts and responses to the climate change crisis are observable and increasing, limited action on vulnerability reduction, building adaptive capacity and risk management allow risk to accumulate below the surface in everyday behaviour and development processes.
Put equity first in climate adaptation
In September, the United Nations will set out a global agenda for helping communities adapt to climate change through the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As nations draw up their strategies, we call on them to put equity first. Poor people face a double burden of inequality — from uneven development and climate change. In Mozambique, for example, two-thirds of the population lives in extreme poverty, on less than US$1.9 per day.
Urban transformative potential in a changing climate
The SDGs and CitiesIPCC offer an unprecedented opportunity for urban transformation, but bold, integrated action to address the constraints imposed by economic, cultural and political dynamics is needed.
