  ABSTRACT: Cities are the engines of economic growth and home to millions of people, but they are also major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, APEC countries hold vital importance in global economic, cultural, ecological, and social affairs. However, climate change presents growing challenges to the region’s development. This paper aims to analyze the main climate risks faced by APEC cities, as well as to examine the adaptation plans and mitigation actions undertaken by governments, and assess how these efforts are being funded. Data employed is collected in partnership by CDP and ICLEI—Local Governments for Sustainability 2023. This analysis highlights the key challenges and opportunities for urban development in the region, ensuring a just transition to sustainability.
