The World Economic Forum's recent report highlights the remarkable efforts made by cities worldwide in revamping infrastructure, implementing green technologies, and promoting community engagement. From resilient urban planning to embracing renewable energy sources, these ambitious initiatives are reshaping urban landscapes and fostering a greener, sustainable future. As cities lead the charge, they inspire hope that collective action can drive meaningful change on a global scale.
Cities occupy just 3 percent of the Earth’s land, but account for most of the global energy consumption and carbon emissions. Many cities are also more vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters due to their population densities and interconnected infrastructure.
