"A follow-up to the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA), Climate Change and U.S. Cities documents the current and future climate risk for U.S. cities, urban systems, and the residents. It is an examination of research findings since early 2012, with a critical emphasis on the cross-cutting factors of economics, equity, and governance.... Climate Change and U.S. Cities lays out the pathways that urban stakeholders and decision makers can follow to take just, effective, and meaningful action."-- Publisher.
