SMART CITY HIGHLIGHTS
NET-ZERO CARBON EMISSION
Why is important? To keep global warming to no more than 1.5 ° C as called for in the ‘Paris Agreement’ emissions need to be reduced by 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. How to achieve? A complete transformation of how we produce, consume, and move about by replacing polluting coal, gas and oil-fired power with energy from renewable sources, such as wind or solar, would dramatically reduce carbon emissions.
What’s next? ❑ Mobilizing net zero ambition through global, nation and regional commitment. ❑ Certify and benchmark our carbon footprint initiatives towards global standardisation.
