Synopsis
The Urban Climate Change Research Network's Second Assessment Report on Climate Change in Cities (ARC3.2) is the second in a series of global, science-based reports to examine climate risk, adaptation, and mitigation efforts in cities.

The book explicitly seeks to explore the implications of changing climatic conditions on critical urban physical and social infrastructure sectors and intersectoral concerns. The primary purpose of ARC3.2 is to inform the development and implementation of effective urban climate change policies, leveraging ongoing and planned investments for populations in cities of developing, emerging, and developed countries.

This volume, like its predecessor, will be invaluable for a range of audiences involved with climate change and cities: mayors, city officials and policymakers; urban planners; policymakers charged with developing climate change mitigation and adaptation programs; and a broad spectrum of researchers and advanced students in the environmental sciences. Contains double the number of chapters as the First ARC3 Report, based on feedback from numerous climate conferences around the world and a survey of city experts and practitioners.

Includes many new topics, including urban ecology and biodiversity, environmental equity and justice, economics, finance, and the private sector, urban planning and design, urban solid waste, urban coastal zones, mitigation and adaptation, and housing and informal settlements.

All sectors from the First ARC3 Report have been thoroughly updated.
