Abstract

It is widely recognized that cities must play a leading role in efforts to mitigate climate change. Building on previous inventory work, this study looks at options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from major cities around the world. The strategies identified reflect the unique characteristics of different cities, such as their climate, industry, urbanized density and electricity supply.
