New progress in research on urban climate change risks
Cities are key vulnerable areas for the impacts of climate change and are the main implementers of actions to address climate change.Research on urban climate change risks and coping strategies is of great significance.Recent advances in climate change risk definition,urban climate change hazard evaluation,climate risk management response strategies and future research directions are summarised.Urbanisation and urban climate change interact with each other.Risk assessment based on the three-dimensional iteration of hazard-exposure-vulnerability is the main research direction.Climate management in adaptive cities needs to effectively improve the ability to respond to extreme weather and climate events.Currently,the mitigation role of the urban climate system is to be increased in order to achieve the"dual-carbon"goal,and climate change risk studies based on monitoring and estimation of urban greenhouse gas emissions will also be emphasised.In the future,urban climate change risk research will move in the direction of multi-disciplinary and multi-perspective synthesis,as well as the refinement and quantification of industry sectors.
