Cities are where the climate and nature crises will be won or lost. Home to nearly two-thirds of the global population and generating almost three-quarters of greenhouse gas emissions, cities are pivotal to climate action.
When COP30 convenes in the Brazilian city of Belém this November, it must elevate cities from the margins to the center of global climate negotiations. After all, cities are not only engines of decarbonization and hubs of innovation—they are also the frontline of climate resilience.
