The book explicitly seeks to explore the implications of changing climatic conditions on critical urban physical and social infrastructure sectors and intersectoral concerns. The primary purpose of ARC3.2 is to inform the development and implementation of effective urban climate change policies, leveraging ongoing and planned investments for populations in cities of developing, emerging, and developed countries. This volume will be invaluable for a range of audiences involved with climate change and cities: mayors, city officials and policymakers; urban planners; policymakers charged with developing climate change mitigation and adaptation programs; and a broad spectrum of researchers and advanced students in the environmental sciences.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/faculty.ait.asia\/shobhakar\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/uccrn3.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/faculty.ait.asia\/shobhakar\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ARC32.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"  alignnone wp-image-630 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/faculty.ait.asia\/shobhakar\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ARC32-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 184px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/faculty.ait.asia\/shobhakar\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/UCCRN1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-614 \" src=\"http:\/\/faculty.ait.asia\/shobhakar\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/UCCRN1-300x215.jpg\" alt=\"UCCRN1\" width=\"184\" height=\"132\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Press Conference, 7th March 2018, Edmonton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/faculty.ait.asia\/shobhakar\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/uccrn2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-615\" src=\"http:\/\/faculty.ait.asia\/shobhakar\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/uccrn2-300x286.jpg\" alt=\"uccrn2\" width=\"197\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The report is\u00a0a multi-year effort comprising over 500 scientists from all over the world, and is published by Cambridge University Press.\u00a0Details here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/gb\/academic\/subjects\/earth-and-environmental-science\/climatology-and-climate-change\/climate-change-and-cities-second-assessment-report-urban-climate-change-research-network\/\">http:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/gb\/academic\/subjects\/earth-and-environmental-science\/climatology-and-climate-change\/climate-change-and-cities-second-assessment-report-urban-climate-change-research-network\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With\u00a0fellow co-editors, Cynthia Rosenzweig (NASA), Bill Solecki (CUNY)\u00a0Patricia Romero Lankao (NCAR), Dr. Shobhakar Dhakal\u00a0launches the Assessment Report on Cities and Climate Change of Urban Climate Change Research Network (UCCRN) in Edmonton on\u00a05th March 2018.
