Accelerate the transition to carbon neutrality,<\/b> by setting clear decarbonization goals, promoting the use of renewable energy, and increasing energy efficiency and low-carbon alternatives, especially in housing and transportation. We are strongly committed to tackling climate change at the local level by playing our part in limiting the temperature increase to 1.5\u00b0C and achieving net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2050.<\/span><\/p>\n

Focus on climate change adaptation,<\/b> by developing and implementing local adaptation plans with a view to enhancing cities\u2019 resilience to extreme and slow-onset climate impacts, based on participatory processes and with the involvement of civil society and the private sector. We commit to building adaptive capacity in line with local circumstances, and making full use of scientific, local and indigenous knowledge, where appropriate. In doing so, we will pay special attention to cost-effective, no-regret ecosystem restoration, conservation and nature-based solutions for adaption. We recognize that natural solutions bring a range of co-benefits for local sustainable development beyond climate action. When designing and implementing adaption measures, we will cater for local communities that are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Inventing cool in the heatwave<\/a><\/h3>

In the years to come, climate change is going to become an increasingly pressing challenge for cities. Urban settings are on average 5\u00b0C hotter than their surroundings. This “urban island effect” poses a threat to populations during heatwaves. Fortunately, cities can act quickly to protect their residents.\u00a0<\/p>
