Cities as transformative agents for a climate-safe future

该项目旨在解决城市如何向气候安全的未来转型-到2050年实现净零排放，同时增强对气候影响的适应能力。通过将城市重新定义为变革的推动者，该项目旨在产生关于城市如何演变和转型的突破性理论和经验知识，它们如何建立网络以增强对气候影响的适应力，以及哪些治理创新可以使它们加速走向气候安全的未来。期望的成果包括先进的知识，新的城市气候政策和实践，以及全球连接的下一代研究人员的多样化池，使澳大利亚处于综合城市科学和实践的最前沿。

This project aims to address how cities can transform towards a climate-safe future- achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 while also enhancing resilience to climate impacts. By reconceptualising cities as transformative agents, this project aims to generate ground-breaking theoretical and empirical knowledge on how cities evolve and transform, how they can network to enhance resilience to climate impacts, and what governance innovations can set them onto accelerated pathways towards a climate-safe future. Aspired outcomes include advanced knowledge, new urban climate policy and practice, and a diverse pool of globally connected, next generation researchers, placing Australia at the forefront of integrative urban science and practice.
