Abstract: Climate change represents a prevalent challenge for humanity, heavily impacting cities. Enhancing their climate resilience is crucial for mitigating and adapting to associated risks and losses. This paper evaluates the climate resilience of 270 major cities in China by developing an indicator system focused on exposure, vulnerability, and resilience. It analyzes the spatial and temporal evolution trends of climate resilience in Chinese cities and the sources of regional differences using Kernel density analysis and Dagum Gini coefficient decomposition. Furthermore, the research explores the influence of financial investments on urban climate resilience, considering the moderating effect of the urbanization rate.
