TL;DR

• Mayors and governors convened at The Vatican today for a special conference on climate action, and to sign a protocol that establishes guidelines “for making everyone climate resilient”

• Cities are magnets for climate risks, but also attractive destinations for adaptation capital and experimentation

• However, as a recent EU report made clear, there’s still uncertainty over what adaptation solutions “work” at the city level

• There’s also a pressing need for cities to coordinate better with national and subnational governments in order to augment their climate-proofing efforts
