That actually exceeds targets set by world leaders in the Paris Agreement. These cities have passed 61 major building, energy, and transportation policies and launched 79 new climate programs and initiatives, putting them on track to collectively reduce their emissions by 32 percent by 2025. Launched in 2018 in partnership with the Natural Resources Defense Council, Delivery Associates, RMI, Greenlink Analytics, and others, the program provides resources and supports for cities to take holistic approaches focused on clean buildings and public transportation. This work is most evident across 25 cities participating in Bloomberg Philanthropies’ American Cities Climate Challenge. And they’re doing so in increasingly impactful ways-using innovation tools like data, resident engagement, and collaboration to create solutions that are already making a measurable difference in their hometowns and are designed in ways that can be replicated in cities around the world.
Recent reports from a key United Nations panel on climate change make three things vividly clear: The crisis is escalating at an alarming pace, the window of opportunity to avoid its worst impacts is closing quickly, and the need for bold solutions is more urgent than ever.Ĭity leaders are stepping up to the challenge.
