Climate Change

An estimated 70 percent of global greenhouse-gas emissions come from cities. Rapid urbanization is expected to continue, intensifying even further the energy use in the cities. Yet there is also an opportunity. Cities are also where the greatest energy efficiencies can take place. Learn more about how cities are tackling climate change – with innovative approaches to improving city management and service delivery, to encouraging green growth.

    • Boosting subnational climate action through new climate governance

    National, local and other subnational governments need to work together to track performance and implement effective, coordinated climate action, with the aim to progressively raise local, national and global ambitions. Linking national and subnational climate reporting is a key element for effective climate governance. This report is a snapshot of the targets, performance inventories, action plans and actions from the carbonn Climate Registry (cCR), of the most widely used subnational climate action reporting systems in the world.

    • Multilevel climate action: The path to 1.5 degrees

    This is a synthesis report of data from the carbonn Climate Registry. It looks at subnational alignment with the 1.5-degree target, key climate hazards and how two-way dialogue and data-sharing can raise climate ambitions. Special attention is given to the importance of integrated Measuring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems, and how such systems can help coordinate, target and build support for climate initiatives.
