A little bit about our history
Cities consume between 60 to 80% of energy wordlwide and generate about 70% of world’s GHG emissions, while occupying only 3% of the global surface. (UN-HABITAT, 2016). Therefore the solutions for tackling climate change should come from cities.
But ¿Who lives in cities?
Our strategy
We need conscious and active citizens taking actions!
Citizens are usually not included in climate change governance, but they hold an enormous potential to act as change-makers.
Inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the UNFCC Paris Agreement, and the importance of cities an citizens in mitigating climate change, we created Low Carbon City in December 2015.
We are promoting a global mobilization for the collective construction of low carbon and resilient cities.
We are all be part of the solution!
