- Sustainable Low-Carbon City Development in China5.49 MB
Cities contribute an estimated 70 percent of the world’s energy-related greenhouse gases (GHG). Their locations – often in low-elevation coastal zones – and large populations make them particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. But cities often take steps, even ahead of national governments, to reduce GHG emissions. So it is with China’s cities, which are well placed to chart a low-carbon growth path to help reach China’s national targets for reducing the energy and carbon intensity of its economy.
