The recent IEA report and UNEP gap report on net zero pathways have noted how difficult it will be to achieve the 1.5°C C climate goal. It is therefore welcome that the upcoming FAO roadmap report will look at both climate change and food security together. A credible 1.5°C C goal within sight.

Targeted investments are required to save our cities from the climate-related risks flagged by the IPCC. The effects of climate change aren’t limited to distant ice caps. It’s therefore vital that cities are built or renovated to be more sustainable and resilient in the face of climate change-induced extreme weather events. “As
