Urban Heat and critical environmental thresholds: new bridges between science and policy?
Abstract
Urban warming is expected to increase in the context of climate change, with dramatic effects on urban social and natural ecosystems. Supporting businessasusual approaches has become increasingly challenging in the face of enhanced scientific knowledge and tangible critical thresholds of climate change. Focusing on two large metropolitan areas, Singapore and the Paris IledeFrance Region, this policy brief provides a timely opportunity to take stock, identify remaining blind spots and examine how to address them through interdisciplinary research and targeted efforts to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge, governance arrangements and policy processes.
