IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (Chapter 6: Cities, settlements and key infrastructure)
Chapter 6 of the IPCC AR6 WGII focuses on how cities and settlements are increasingly vulnerable to climate change impacts such as heatwaves, flooding, and sea-level rise. It emphasizes the need for integrated, inclusive urban planning to build resilience and reduce risks. The report highlights solutions like green infrastructure, nature-based adaptation, early warning systems, and equitable governance. Urban areas have a crucial role in both driving and solving climate challenges, making climate-resilient development pathways essential.
We strongly encourage learners to review this chapter to understand how urban strategies can address climate risks and promote sustainable futures.
