Third Assessment Report on Climate Change and Cities (ARC3.3)
Elements in Climate Change and Cities – published in collaboration with Cambridge University Press – provides readers with urban climate change knowledge, tools, and case studies to heighten opportunities for sustainability and resilience in cities worldwide. This twelve-publication series forms UCCRN’s Third Assessment Report on Climate Change and Cities (ARC3.3), building on the preceding ARC3.1 (2011) and ARC3.2 (2018).
City Solutions Case Study Atlas (City CSA)
UCCRN's City Solutions Case Study Atlas (City CSA) is an accessible database of recent and current climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies that cities globally are implementing within their local contexts. Case studies included in the UCCRN City CSA pay special attention to solutions-based projects and initiatives in urban and metropolitan settings. Case studies are reviewed by experts, searchable by keywords and data map visualization, and focused on distinct solutions across topics like finance, governance, and nature-based solutions.
