Tag: net zero cities

Cities are on the front lines of climate change. As climate change intensifies, it will exacerbate existing problems plaguing cities such as rural-urban migration; air, water, and land pollution; poverty; and inequality. In this context, climate solutions like net-zero greenhouse gas emission strategies must also achieve other green outcomes that increase resilience, reduce pollution, make governance more inclusive, improve access to services, and create new jobs in cleaner and more circular economies.
