GREENER CITIES
Making our cities more sustainable and resilient

Cities across the globe are setting ambitious net-zero goals, utilising new sustainability technologies, prioritising increased biodiversity in planning decisions, building greater resilience against the impacts of climate change, investing in renewable energy and improving transport, all with environmental health and impact in mind.. This is a key priority for cities, and for good reason:   

 

1. They produce about 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions, making them a significant contributor to climate change.

​

2. Climate change is exposing cities to extreme affects including extreme weather events, climbing average temperatures and biodiversity loss.

​

3. Air quality is worse in cities than elsewhere, which is impacting inhabitants health and wellbeing. 

​

We will keep you up to date with knowledge and insights to help you make your city more resilient and sustainable.
