This research demonstrates Daring Cities which is a global, action-oriented virtual forum, designed by ICLEI and the city of Bonn, to empower urban leaders to tackle the climate crisis, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This study calls for enhanced sharing of ocean data and stronger investment in national statistical systems for collecting and harmonizing ocean data. It underscores the need for enforcing international conventions, norms and standards in relation to maritime shipping, sustainable fisheries and marine pollution.
This paper provides decision-makers with a framework for prioritising different economic, social and environmental goals and analysing the options available to achieve them. To this end, it develops three stylised COVID-19 recovery pathways (“Rebound”, “Decoupling” and “Wider well-being”) that differ in the extent to which they encompass greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and the integration of mitigation and wider well-being outcomes or, broadly equivalently, SDGs.
This report highlights opportunities for businesses to invest in Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) – particularly those in Southeast Asia – to stimulate the implementation of NCS at scale.
This paper considers how transformative adaptation – long-term, systemic change to fundamental aspects of systems in response to or anticipation of severe climate change impacts - could be accelerated by enhancing climate services and how they are applied.
