A series of global and regional consultations brought public and private sector representatives together with IPCC authors. During these meetings, stakeholders discussed the latest science and prioritized findings and key points for city and business decision makers. They also explored additional avenues for collaborative action. The outcomes of these discussions are integrated into the Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP) reports.

Bringing climate scientists, cities and businesses together

The SUP draws upon a series of regional and global convenings between scientists who wrote the three reports; and city officials and business representatives who provided a bridge between science, policy and practice. Together, they:

  • Reviewed the findings of six SUP AR6 reports, from 2018 to 2022
  • Prioritized key actions for urban policymakers and business decision makers
  • Explored avenues for collaborative and convergent action

The regional and global convenings helped translate relevant and recent climate science to foster urban action, by strengthening the coordinated implementation of sustainable development, climate adaptation and mitigation.
