About this book
The World Cities Report 2024 will advance a people-centred approach to climate action, that promotes effective and inclusive climate action as a framework for building climate resilience in urban areas. The WCR 2024 advocates that people must be at the centre of any meaningful climate action. In this regard, climate action should not only contribute to mitigating GHG emissions, adapting and reversing the effects as of climate change, but should ensure that people have sustainable livelihoods and stable incomes, have food security, access to clean water and other basic services including affordable healthcare— all of which will reduce the vulnerability to climate change. The impacts of climate change are quite significant to the extent that adaptation and risk management can be powerful contributors to poverty eradication and sustainable development.
