Chicago, Montréal and Paris. - Next step: to find a long-lasting space for science-based policymaking. The Urban Climate Change Research Network. 1

17 Next step A team who works and has to disband -> frustration, time-consuming, networks/teams to rebuild What we need: to build an iterative and continuous state-of-the-knowledge assessment process, co-production, systemic perspective (cities as socio-eco systems) The Urban Climate Change Research Network 17

18 The Urban Climate Change Research Network 18

19 Knowledge partnerships that engage researchers, local governments, companies and community groups are essential for enabling cities to fulfill their leadership potential.

20 UCCRN mission Provide knowledge that enables cities and metropolitan regions to fulfill their climate change leadership potential in both mitigation and adaptation, with a focus on developing resiliency Climate strategies must be grounded in local climate information Interactions between scientists and stakeholders, taking into consideration the unique components of the urban climate system, lead to the co-generation of usable climate information to prepare for the future. Partnering with other organizations and research institutions to host events and compile reports for city leaders. Act as a knowledge provider and an adviser to cities and organizations 20

24 UCCRN Regional Hubs Network The UCCRN Regional Hubs serve to promote enhanced opportunities for new urban climate change adaptation and mitigation knowledge and information transfer through on-going dialogue between scholars, experts, urban decision-makers, and stakeholders. The Hubs operate at the continental-scale Regional Hubs of Action Conduct direct outreach to city decision-makers at the regional level, based on their needs Develop relationships with regional researchers so as to build capacity for knowledge partnerships with city stakeholders Generate region-specific climate change knowledge Link regional knowledge partnerships to global UCCRN networks UCCRN New York Office serves as secretariat to coordinate international network and provide guidance. 24
