While the climate change phenomenon is global in GHG contributions and impacts; there is a growing consensus to respond to the 2oC challenge through concerted local actions. However, there is disintegrated knowledge on (a) Short, mid and long-term climate vulnerability at the sub-national level (b) How variedly do different societies contribute to climate change- their GHG structures, and (c) What climate action are governments and organizations taking at the local level, across the globe. This research aims to create a collaborative network of experts to prepare an integrated climate action planning (ICLAP) decision-making tool for settlements with 5 million+ population in the Asia Pacific to enable them in evidence-based climate action. . The tool will help cities know their mid-term climate variability, current and future GHG profiles and available solutions at their disposal.  The project is supported by the  Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) under their Collaborative Regional Research Programme.  For more details on ICLAP 2050, visit the APN’s project webpage here.
