Climate change, an escalating global predicament, is intricately linked with the uncertainties surrounding urban development, a process that is intricately tied to economic growth and social progress. This interconnectedness gives rise to new interconnected risks that present significant social and economic challenges, threatening the sustainability of our urban centers. This study takes into account climate change risk mitigation and adaptation strategies, focuses on urban climate risk identification and establishment of climate adaptive city risk assessment index system. Through the sorting of historical data, the improvement of disaster statistics and other interconnection to clarify regional risks in different fields, and discusses methods to achieve efficient risk management and governance of climate-resilient cities under the dual background of urbanization and climate change. By adopting a perspective centered on climate risk management, this research provides forward-thinking guidance for long-term perspectives on urban planning and construction.
