Protecting our capital: how climate adaptation in cities creates a resilient place for business
This report focuses on how the evolving role of cities to protect its citizens and economy lead to greater resiliency for business. It interrogates CDP’s extensive database of climate change activities reported by over 200 cities and more than 4,500 large, listed companies to understand how action by city governments creates a resilient place for business.
It argues that the steps cities are taking to improve their resilience lead to greater protection of the physical, economic, natural and human capital that define a city’s key strengths. The report highlights more clearly than ever before the critical role cities are already undertaking to mitigate climate change risks.
