Summary for Urban Policymakers – IPCC Sixth Assessment Report

The Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP) initiative presents a concise and accessible synthesis of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report, tailored specifically for urban leaders and decision-makers. This three-part series translates critical climate science into actionable insights for cities and urban areas:

Physical Science of Climate Change – based on IPCC Working Group I, focusing on climate trends and projections.

Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability – from Working Group II, examining risks and resilience strategies for urban systems.

Climate Change Mitigation – drawn from Working Group III, detailing urban pathways to reduce emissions.

Designed to support evidence-based urban policy, the SUP reports bridge science and practice to enable informed planning and climate action at the local level.
