Climate adaptation

Why solving climate change starts with cities

Some 70% of the emissions that cause climate change come from urban areas.

That means to solve the problem, we have to start with our cities. 

According to Professor Juergen Kropp of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), we already have all the information we need to act, but turning knowledge into action remains a challenge.

In our latest interview, he explains why we urgently need to rethink how we build and power our cities—and what’s holding us back from doing so. He also reveals why making climate science more accessible–even entertaining–could be key to driving the transformation we need.
