The initiative emphasizes that while these cities are highly vulnerable to hydro-meteorological disasters, they offer significant opportunities for resilience due to their proximity scale. Key strategies included the co-generation of knowledge using both scientific data and citizen perceptions, the implementation of low-cost technological prototypes, and the integration of a gender perspective to address the disproportionate impacts of climate change on women. The report argues for a localization agenda where resilience is integrated into local development plans and supported by greater fiscal and administrative decentralization.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"cdkn-000922#summary","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},"key_insights":[{"text":"Small and medium-sized cities in Latin America are highly vulnerable to climate change, with approximately 40% of their population living in coastal areas and an estimated 80% of the region's greenhouse gas emissions originating from cities, primarily from electricity and transport sectors.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"cdkn-000922#insight-1","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Data for assessing urban vulnerability is often fragmented and exists in inconsistent formats and scales, making it difficult for local administrations to use for informed decision-making.
