A commentary published in Nature argues that the world lacks a coordinated fallback system to preserve and share climate-risk intelligence if key data sources fail or become inaccessible. The piece warns that current climate monitoring and forecasting infrastructure is fragmented and vulnerable to funding cuts, political shifts, or technical disruptions.
A new report from AlphaGeo analyzing 72 major global cities through its Climate Risk & Resilience Index finds that raw physical climate exposure and actual resilience-adjusted risk diverge widely depending on adaptation policy. Cities like Ahmedabad, Dhaka, Kolkata and Lahore combine severe exposure with only moderate adaptive capacity, while cities such as Chicago, Paris, Barcelona and Nairobi rank among the most resilient despite facing real climate threats. Chinese cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Shenzhen and Shanghai stand out for converting high exposure into comparatively low residual risk through strong adaptation measures.
