Climate hazards threaten nearly 70% of population of a third of world cities, finds a new report by the CDP, a London-based non-profit which runs the world’s environmental disclosure system for companies, cities, states and regions.
The analysis in Protecting People and the Planet, (https://www.cdp.net/en/research/global-reports/protecting-people-and-the-planet) released on October 13, 2022, is based on responses of 998 cities from across the globe to CDP-ICLEI Track in 2022, the world’s leading climate progress reporting platform for cities.
The report shows that cities taking at least one people-centered climate action, where the needs and experiences of people, especially vulnerable groups, are examined and considered from the assessment to implementation stages of action are realizing multiple additional benefits, on top of reducing emissions.
