Abstract
The impacts of climate change will be felt by a large number of urban residents in Asia as it is the most disaster-prone region in the world (Global Climate Risk Index, 2019). Social-ecological transformation in Asian cities is therefore instrumental to achieving many global development and climate targets. As dense settlements of human and economic activity, Asian cities present unique challenges but also opportunities for low-carbon transitions. The report looks at three sectors that are crucial in driving these social-ecological transformations at the municipal level, namely, built environment, transport and the public participation sectors.
