Climate Variability: Cities and Solutions

This lecture explores the role of cities in climate change, focusing on the impact of climate variability on urban areas. It discusses the importance of innovative solutions for cities, as well as the challenges and opportunities they face. The presentation delves into the historical context of climate variability, contrasting natural patterns with the current global warming trend. It also examines the influence of external and internal factors on climate variability, such as solar forcing, volcanic eruptions, and ocean-atmosphere interactions. The lecture highlights the significance of understanding natural climate variability to make accurate climate projections and address the impacts of anthropogenic climate change.
