The Summary for Urban Policymakers of the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report
This publication by the Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP) initiative synthesizes the latest findings from the IPCC Sixth Assessment Reports in partnership with cities and businesses across the globe.
The SUP series is supported by a partnership of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy alliance for city climate leadership, the Resilience First business network, the Indian Institute for Human Settlements, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and Resilience Rising.
