Climate change mitigation, adaptation, and sustainable development pathways in the C40 cities

Project Details

Description

The primary aims of this project are three-fold. First, to identify and analyze the key synergies, conflicts, and trade-offs between mitigation and adaptation strategies within the 63 member cities of the C40 Carbon Cities network. Second, to analyze the policy trade-offs between climate change planning goals and economic growth/de-growth policies and strategies. Third, to develop a rigorous framework to assess the transferability, effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of climate change planning measures and strategies.

The outputs of the research project will consist of peer-reviewed journal articles, popular press articles for the general public, specialist articles for planners, and an open-source, peer-validated database for research and practice.
