  • Climate resilient development (CRD) offers small island developing states (SIDS) a chance to integrate climate adaptation and mitigation into development decisions that benefit civil society. Yet, present climate actions lack education capacity building across formal curriculum development, vocational training programs, and data infrastructure needed to sustain CRD in the long-term. Here, we evaluate different climate education capacity building initiatives in Grenada through stakeholder interviews (n = 39) and co-generative workshops with participants (n = 47) across education, government, and civil society sectors to debate how existing knowledge, new skill development, and enhanced educational resources can build a sustainable CRD transition.

  • The IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities provides an opportunity for clearing roadblocks to city action. The special report needs to provide the evidence base required to convince nation-states that cities are indispensable partners, while showing development banks and the private sector how to jump-start and accelerate city financing.

  • There is a closing window of opportunity to ensure a sustainable future for all, with deep and rapid action needed this decade. Inclusive and just climate resilient development advances sustainable development and keeps open pathways to a liveable planet but requires urgent and fundamental shifts in prevailing development politics and practice.

  • Transformation is required for cities to fulfil their leadership potential on climate change. Five action pathways can guide them: integrate mitigation and adaptation; coordinate risk reduction and climate adaptation; cogenerate risk information; focus on disadvantaged populations; and improve governance and knowledge networks.

  • Meeting the ambitions of the Paris Agreement will require rapid and massive decarbonization of cities, as well as adaptation. Capacity and requirement differs across cities, with challenges and opportunities for transformational action in both the Global North and South.

  • Priorities and programmes in the City of Cape Town’s Integrated Development Plan (2022–2027) demonstrate progress towards operationalising local level planning for climate-resilient development. These developments provide lessons of process and focus on transformative outcomes for cities seeking equitable and just development while implementing climate change adaptation and mitigation.
