Abstract
Urban areas are prone to climate change impacts. Simultaneously, the world’s population increasingly resides in cities. The growing awareness of the interlocking drivers of urban change and vulnerability, calls for institutional transformation and the need to link adaptation action to development efforts demand innovative approaches to connect science policy and practice. In this light, there is a growing need to equip urban decision makers with evidence based climate information tailored to their specific context, to adequately adapt to and prepare for future climate change impacts.
