Resilience from the ground up: assessing city-level approaches to climate risk and adaptation
Climate changeReportSeptember 23, 2024
Cities are at the center of the climate crisis. While they can amplify climate risks, they can also guard against the worst impacts of climate change. City residents hold strong opinions about the road ahead, yet their views are rarely considered.
Economist Impact, supported by Zurich Insurance Group, is launching a new research program that explores these perspectives, drawing on insights from a survey of 5,000 residents across ten global cities and interviews with 15 experts.
The study explores how residents view climate change, how their cities need to adapt and their sense of personal accountability toward the issue.
This research was originally published on Economist Impact.
