Cities must act immediately and decisively on climate change. The longer cities wait, the more expensive and difficult it will be to reduce emissions and, as a result, more natural and human systems will be exposed to significant risk.
This report provides guidance on different approaches that cities may take to achieve carbon neutrality. The intention is to update the guide as new technologies and best practices emerge. The shared definitions, guidance, and best practices in this document have been developed in collaboration with cities, civil society partners, and expert organisations. These will help cities develop strategies for carbon neutrality and inform cities engaging in the GPC update process.
