Cities are at the forefront of the climate crisis. The recently published sixth assessment report by the Working Group II of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), devoted to adaptation, leaves no doubts: the risks faced by people and assets because of climate change have increased in urban and rural settlements alike. Adaptation, however, is not keeping pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 6, devoted to \u201cCities, Settlements and Key Infrastructure\u201d, highlights the existence of an \u201cadaptation gap\u201d: measures for cities, settlements and infrastructure to adapt to the unavoidable consequences of climate change are still falling dramatically short of what is needed. Existing and planned measures, moreover, do not always avoid the risk of entrenching inequalities and thus enhancing vulnerability among the most disadvantaged groups.
The panel will discuss policy solutions, urban governance potential, and the failures so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
