This analytical report discusses the link between climate change and cities. It focuses on three broad issues: how cities contribute to and are affected by climate change; how policy makers can use cities to change human behavior and improve technology related to climate change; how cities should use climate change as an opportunity to raise their profile, reinforce sensible policies, and move toward a more sustainable community and planet.
