3 Cities on the Frontlines By 2050, 67.2% of the world s population is projected to be living in cities (IPCC 2014).

4 Cities are acting as world leaders in advancing action for climate change mitigation, adaptation, and resiliency.

5 Knowledge partnerships that engage local researchers, governments, and community groups are essential for enabling cities to fulfill their leadership potential.

6 UCCRN Mission Provide knowledge that enables cities* and metropolitan regions to fulfill their climate change leadership potential in both mitigation and adaptation** Over 800 scientists, scholars, and expert practitioners spanning a broad range of expertise More than 100 developed and developing cities around the world Formed in 2007 at the time of the C40 Summit in New York UCCRN ARC3.2 Workshop. Siemens, The Crystal, London, UK *and their metropolitan regions **with a focus on developing resiliency
