The series constitutes UCCRN’s Third Assessment Report on Climate Change and Cities (ARC3.3), building upon the foundations laid by ARC3.1 (2011) and ARC3.2 (2018). As a comprehensive assessment of the latest research and emerging scientific insights, ARC3.3 addresses pressing climate challenges, transformative solutions, and cross-cutting themes shaping the urban climate agenda.

Produced by leading scholars and practitioners from cities across the globe, the series aims to strengthen the role of cities as key drivers of climate leadership. Each Element presents innovative approaches to mitigation, adaptation, and resilience, highlighting effective strategies for urban action and systemic transformation. The collection engages researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and students alike, empowering them to contribute actively to shaping more sustainable, equitable, and climate-ready urban futures.

The series include:

• Financing Urban Transitions to Climate Neutrality and Increased Resilience in Cities, Planning,
