Turning Ambitious Decarbonization Goals into Reality Requires an Integrated Approach
Cities across the globe have embraced their instrumental role in tackling climate change. For example, in the lead-up to last November's COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, leaders from many of the 1,000-plus cities that have joined the United Nations' Race to Zero initiative announced pledges to slash carbon emissions drastically.
These public commitments are critical for establishing a city's aspirations and, importantly, setting the tangible benchmarks necessary for accountability.
