Resilience from the ground up: assessing city-level approaches to climate risk and adaptation
Public and global health
Economist Impact, supported by Zurich Insurance Group, has launched a new research programme that explores these perspectives. It draws on insights from a survey of 5,000 residents across ten global cities—500 respondents each from Amsterdam, Cairo, Cape Town, Dubai, Jakarta, Madrid, Mumbai, New York City, São Paulo and Tokyo—and interviews with 15 experts. The study explores how urban populations view climate change and how they think their cities can build resilience.
