Abstract
While cities and urban areas have begun to be recognized within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), a multi-level climate action is urgent with cities playing a central role in mobilization. This assessment defines some conceptual and operational gaps faced by the science-policy-practice community; how partnerships are structured; the research and action agenda that underpins them; how this agenda is being articulated and implemented; and how climate change can be addressed in cities. The paper concludes with a series of strategies and recommendations for targeted policy adjustments that support actionable knowledge.
