Cities and Climate Change

On this month's Urban Radar, Beth and Tom discuss:

• Why recognising the rights of a New Zealand mountain is an urban issue
• Conflict in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and its impacts on the city of Goma
• How cutting US international development funding will impact cities
• Whether ‘more-than-schools’ can offer community-level responses to the crisis in young people and children’s mental health
• Waste tipping in Litchfield, UK

And in our Special Feature, they are joined by Professor Vanesa Castán Broto and David Dodman, two external authors of the UN-Habitat World Cities Report to discuss:

• What role do cities and local governments have in addressing climate change?
• Which communities are impacted most by climate change?
• What is a just transition?
• How do formal and informal systems support or hinder low carbon action?
• What are the limits and possibilities of action at local, national and international levels?
