Climate change mitigation
Climate change mitigation is a key part of sustainable urban development, involving actions to combat global climate change by reducing or preventing the emission of greenhouse
gases. By prioritising climate-friendly practices, towns and cities also create healthier, cleaner urban environments.
Cities can adopt local measures around renewable energy sources, sustainable mobility and transportation systems, low-carbon urban infrastructure, circular economy initiatives and citizen engagement to achieve behavioural change.
This topic includes techniques and strategies to promote energy efficiency and cleaner energy, improve air quality, and implement pollution and waste-control measures within cities, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
