The time for climate change debate is long over. After much discussion at the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference, the message is clear: It is time to get real about climate change and work collectively to transform the way we live.
Cities are a major contributor to climate change. More than 70% of the global population lives in cities and urban areas, and rising urban populations are intensifying carbon dioxide-emitting activities. As a direct result of climate change, we are witnessing more climate extremes as communities around the world face deadly heatwaves, intense rainfall and flooding.
