About this listen
@PodcastMasterminds The World Cities Report 2024 examines the crucial role of cities in addressing climate change. It highlights that urban areas are both highly vulnerable to climate impacts and major contributors to global emissions. The report underscores the urgency of local climate action and the need for integrated approaches to bridge divides in order to ensure equitable and sustainable development. It addresses the need for resilient infrastructure, capacity building for local governments, and innovative, inclusive governance systems. Financing climate interventions, integrating local knowledge, and adapting urban planning to incorporate climate risks are also central themes. Ultimately, the report advocates for a people-centred approach to climate action, promoting resilience and sustainability in urban environments.
