The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C was produced by IPCC scientists to explain the pathways to and impacts of 1.5°C. A Summary for Urban Policymakers also synthesised findings for cities.

This brief was subsequently compiled by city policymakers to summarise the most actionable information for cities on the latest 1.5°C science. It discusses important messages, the risks and impacts of different levels of heating, and what must be done to enable a sustainable and safe environment for everyone.
