Can cities emerge as the leaders in promoting a low-carbon, climate resilient economic recovery in Asia-Pacific? UNESCAP compiles examples from countries across the Asia-Pacific region that explore the linkages between climate change ambitions, policies, multi-level governance frameworks - that involve different combinations of public, private and non-state actors, and citizens - and vertical integration in cities in the region. Particularly relevant for climate and urban development policymakers, technical-level officials and practitioners.
