Reports written from cities' own plans
What do you want to know about how cities are adapting to climate change?
Hundreds of cities have written down what they will do about floods, heat and storms, and how they will pay for it. Ask a question the way you would ask a colleague, and get back a report drawn from those plans: a narrative, the tables and charts behind it, and every claim traced to the page it came from.
Or start from one of these
How Houston pays for flood protection How is Houston paying for its flood protection actions? Funding allocations, providers and instruments behind one city's flood actions. Miami-Dade County against extreme heat What has Miami-Dade County committed to against extreme heat, and who implements it? Actions, the solutions they implement, and the bodies named to carry them out. Three coastal cities, side by side Compare how New York City, Boston and Philadelphia plan for coastal flooding. A comparison matrix plus each city's hazards and actions. Rotterdam's water solutions and outcomes What solutions do Rotterdam's plans prescribe for water management, and what outcomes do they expect? Solutions concept by concept, with the outcomes and indicators attached. Who delivers Toronto's adaptation actions Who are the stakeholders behind Toronto's climate adaptation actions, and which actions do they lead? Issuers, implementers and partners across the city's plans. Copenhagen's resilience goals Which resilience goals do Copenhagen's climate plans set, and how are they measured? Goals, outcomes and indicators; a good test of where the record runs thin. A briefing deck on Barcelona Make a short briefing deck on Barcelona's climate adaptation actions and how they are funded. The same compile, rendered as slides. Melbourne and Sydney: hazards compared What hazards do Melbourne's plans address, and how does that compare with Sydney's? Two cities' hazard profiles from their own plans.

How it works
- You ask. A question, in your words. We propose the report: which places, what to focus on, which sections.
- You shape it. Keep what is useful, drop what is not, add a place or a theme. Before anything is written, each section is checked against what the plans record, so you know where the evidence is strong and where it is thin.
- It compiles. In a minute or two: a readable report, or a slide deck, where every paragraph cites the facts behind it and every fact points at a plan passage.
- We keep going. Where the plans run out, ask our researchers to fill the gap; you are told when the answer is in, and the report compiles again.
