The World Cities Report 2024 will advance a people-centred approach to climate action, that promotes effective and inclusive climate action as a framework for building climate resilience in urban areas. The WCR 2024 advocates that people must be at the centre of any meaningful climate action. In this regard, climate action should not only contribute to mitigating GHG emissions, adapting and reversing the effects as of climate change, but should ensure that people have sustainable livelihoods and stable incomes, have food security, access to clean water and other basic services including affordable healthcare— all of which will reduce the vulnerability to climate change. The impacts of climate change are quite significant to the extent that adaptation and risk management can be powerful contributors to poverty eradication and sustainable development.

In a rapidly urbanizing and globalized world, cities have been the epicentres of COVID-19 (coronavirus). The virus has spread to virtually all parts of the world; first, among globally connected cities, then through community transmission and from the city to the countryside. This report shows that the intrinsic value of sustainable urbanization can and should be harnessed for the wellbeing of all. It provides evidence and policy analysis of the value of urbanization from an economic, social and environmental perspective. It also explores the role of innovation and technology, local governments, targeted investments and the effective implementation of the New Urban Agenda in fostering the value of sustainable urbanization.

This edition of the World Cities Report seeks to provide greater clarity and insights into the future of cities based on existing trends, challenges and opportunities, as well as disruptive conditions, including the valuable lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, and suggest ways that cities can be better prepared to address a wide range of shocks and transition to sustainable urban futures. The Report proposes a state of informed preparedness that provides us with the opportunity to anticipate change, correct the course of action and become more knowledgeable of the different scenarios or possibilities that the future of cities offers. The Report reaffirms that the vision for the future of cities must embody the "new social contract" in the form of universal basic income, universal health coverage and universal housing and basic services.
