dc.description.abstractApproximately 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions are generated through consumption in urban areas, which means that decarbonization of cities is essential to limit climate change to 1.5 to 2 °C. While per capita emissions in low- and middle-income countries remain low so far, prompt action is needed to ensure that cities in these countries remain on a low-carbon pathway, before rapid urbanization and increases in consumption lock in high emissions for decades. Technically feasible actions can cut up to 90% of emissions in cities globally between now and 2050. However, the infrastructure investments necessary to do this would cost USD 1.8 trillion each year, by one estimate.en
