Active Research Projects
UCCRN Regional Hubs
Building on a series of scoping sessions with stakeholders and members, UCCRN is transitioning from a report-focused organization to one that leads an on-going, sustained global city-focused climate change knowledge assessment and solutions program. The program is targeted to early, mid, and late-adopter cities through the expansion of the UCCRN to include proactive Regional Hubs, with field directors, program coordinators, and researchers that strengthen ongoing collaborations and knowledge exchange both for and with cities.
Urban Design Climate Workshops
UCCRN Urban Design Climate Workshops (UDCWs) aim to integrate and scale-up climate change mitigation and adaptation in cities through knowledge sharing, collaboration, and action planning. These sessions bring together urban designers, urban planners, climatologists, policymakers, stakeholders, and graduate students. Topics of discussion include strengthening urban resilience, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing livelihoods. So far, UDCWs have taken place in New York, Paris, Naples, and Durban.

UCCRN ARC3.3: Submit Your City Case Studies!
Dear UCCRN Members --
We are compiling new case studies for UCCRN’s Third Assessment Report on Climate Change and Cities (ARC3.3) and are requesting your climate change and city case studies! With our 2,000+ member network of scientists, researchers, and practitioners, your knowledge and experience on urban climate change at the local level will provide valuable insight into city-specific risks, actions, and sector-specific themes.
