Several of these problems are directly or indirectly related to the climate of these cities. The situation is most dramatic in the less developed world and the tropics. In addition cities are a major source of greenhouse gases which are thought to be responsible for the observed global warming trend. This presentation will summarize current knowledge of urban influence on the local climate and discuss practical implications of such understanding. All are welcome.
