The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) has published detailed guidance to help the world's cities address warming, which is occurring at twice the global average rate in urban areas.
Beating the Heat: A Sustainable Cooling Handbook for Cities, prepared with RMI, states that by the end of this century, many cities could warm as much as 4°C if GHG emissions continue at high levels. Even at 1.5°C of warming, 2.3 billion people could be vulnerable to severe heat waves.
