Background Studies 2011
  Print This Page!

A series of background studies was commissioned specifically for this Global Report to illustrate empirical conditions and trends; as well as effective policy responses. Many of the illustrative boxes contained in the different chapters of Cities and Climate Change are based on these background studies, while some of the experiences described in the studies – including related empirical evidence – are also directly integrated within the text of the chapters of the report.

A typical illustrative box in Cities and Climate Change uses only a portion of the full case study, so that the 'full story' of the experience on which the box is based may not be apparent to the reader. For the benefit of those readers who may want to get even more details on these studies, the full versions of all background studies are available electronically below.
