IPCC Publishes Its Special Report on Cities

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change delivers the first special report devoted to climate change and cities, due in March 2027. It is one of three special and methodology reports in the AR7 cycle.

The Special Report on Climate Change and Cities is scheduled for March 2027. [1]
It is part of the Seventh Assessment Report cycle, alongside the 2027 Methodology Report on Inventories for Short-lived Climate Forcers and a December 2027 methodology report on carbon dioxide removal, carbon capture, utilization and storage. [1]
The AR7 cycle's three working group reports and its synthesis report follow it. [1]
