The Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP) report series was launched today at COP27. The three-volume series distills the most relevant climate science for urban actors from the IPCC Sixth Assessment Reports.
The findings in the latest IPCC report once again highlight the urgency for action to reach net zero as soon as possible, and make a step-change to build the resilience of the global economy. We share a response from the High-Level Climate Champions.
The latest volume from the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report is on Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability. The Resilience Shift is part of a collaboration to co-create a Summary for Urban Policymakers series that will present the latest IPCC assessments in targeted summaries that can help inform action at the city scale.
Today, several of the world’s leading climate change scientists came together with city and business leaders, global NGOs and national governments to announce a new initiative, the Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP) that will present the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments in accessible and targeted summaries that can help inform action at the city scale.
The whitepaper is jointly published by Resilience First and Intel. It looks at four techniques (i.e. adaptation, renewables, energy efficiency and carbon capture) as they are applied by different industries and sectors in an effort to achieve net-zero targets.

In the seventh episode, Peter talks to Dr Debra Roberts, Head of Sustainable and Resilient Initiatives at eThekwini Municipality, Durban, South Africa & Co-Chair of IPCC Working Group 2.
A new Atlas published today by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) shows that a disaster related to a weather, climate or water hazard occurred every day on average over the past 50 years – killing 115 people and causing US$ 202 million in losses daily.
Seth Schultz – “With the critical global actions on climate starting to accelerate, it is time too for all to urgently consider how they transform what they do, build more resilience, and contribute positively to a safe, sustainable and resilient future.”
We’re launching a new series of videos that will highlight how innovative technology is helping to increase resilience in a wide range of infrastructure projects. The series is produced in partnership with Siemens USA.
Resilience First, in partnership with Intel, have published a whitepaper on “Decarbonisation and the role of technology’, outlining how technology and innovation can be harnessed to cut emissions and accelerate the path to net-zero.
Resilience Shift CEO, Seth Schultz, is one of more than 300 senior leaders brought together by the British Science Association to interrogate the key scientific and social challenges facing society including how to build resilience.
Resilience First are running a series of webinars throughout March on the role innovative technologies can play in decarbonisation across a range of different sectors. See the programme and the event report from this week’s event.
