PARIS: Hundreds of cities have no climate adaptation plans in place despite rising threats like floods, heatwaves and pollution, according to a report on Wednesday that said this could put 400 million people at risk across the world.
Fast-expanding urban areas are home to more than half the population of the planet and are increasingly exposed to climate-fuelled disasters, economic shocks and health crises as the world warms, with fears that vulnerable communities will be hardest hit.
CDP, a global non-profit that collects data disclosed by companies, cities, states and regions on environmental impact, analysed over 800 cities and found that 43 per cent do not yet have a plan to adapt to the challenges of climate change.
