Weathering the Storm Together

Imagine living in a city where the streets are designed not just for cars and buses, but also to absorb rainwater to prevent flooding. Or where buildings are not only places to live and work but also help cool down the city, reducing the need for air conditioning. This isn't a scene from a science fiction movie; it's the future of cities adapting to climate change. As our planet faces more extreme weather events, from scorching heatwaves to devastating floods, cities around the globe are on the front lines. With over half of the world's population living in urban areas—a number expected to rise—how cities adapt to these challenges affects us all. The choices cities make today will determine how well we can protect our homes, health, and communities from the impacts of climate change tomorrow. For you, this could mean safer, greener, and more vibrant cities to live in. It's about making sure the places we call home are ready to face the future head-on.
