Cities and towns are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and will need to find innovative ways to adapt. Now is the time to start rethinking urban design and management — yet few have taken concrete action.

In 2008, Barcelona ordered huge quantities of water delivered by tanker to serve its population and tourists. In 2003, the summer heat wave killed 14 800 people in France, 18 000 in Italy, and altogether around 52 000 across Europe. In 2002, photos of Dresden and other German cities under water showed the effects of extreme flooding along the River Elbe.
With a changing climate, extreme events like these are predicted to occur more frequently. Two lines of action are needed globally to keep the future impacts of climate change within manageable boundaries. First, large cuts in greenhouse gas emissions must be made to stabilize temperature rise at below 2 °C above preindustrial levels. Above this threshold, there is a risk that the impacts will be extremely difficult for contemporary societies to cope with. However, even if the 2°C target is achieved, there will still be residual impacts throughout this century.
The second line of action therefore involves putting in place adaptive measures. Cities have an important role to play in both areas. They are already making substantial efforts to cut emissions, improve their energy efficiency and step up the use of renewable energy
