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.

This means that effectively coordinated multilevel action can help nations implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This joint policy briefing explores the need for enhanced multilevel governance to implement the NDCs.
