One week to go: Cities face the heat
Extreme heat warnings across Southern Europe, the United States and Canada are a clear reminder: Climate change is already affecting daily life. In cities, hotter days can strain health, homes, transit and power systems. So, local action matters—not only for future generations, but for people navigating today’s heat.
A practical forum for urban action
The Cities Climate Action Summit 2024 takes place online June 26 and in person June 27 at London’s County Hall. As an official London Climate Action Week event, it will bring together about 2,500 participants and representatives from more than 25 cities. The program will examine policy, climate finance and technology, with sessions on energy, transportation and buildings.
Turning ideas into better city life
The summit will explore ways to make cities more heat-resilient and climate-ready. Better buildings and cleaner transport can help cut emissions; thoughtful planning can also make neighborhoods safer and more comfortable. Still, new tools alone are not enough. Cities need funding, strong leadership and fair access to improvements. The gathering offers a chance to share what works—and consider how to turn those ideas into visible benefits for residents.
