Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Cities are pivotal in the global quest for climate neutrality, yet implementation of climate actions often lags behind their ambitions. This Perspective distils practical recommendations to unlock the full potential of cities on their zero-emission journey. It focuses on comprehensive emissions accounting, innovative green finance, multilevel governance, co-creation, and integrated urban planning. These are key areas to bridge the ambition-implementation gap and advance a fair, inclusive climate transition.
