Make powerful progress
The theme for the COP27 UN Climate Change Conference in Cairo, ‘Together for Implementation’, signals the role of cities and regions as important actors in the fight against global warming.
The report here evaluates the status and progress of the UK in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions across five sectors by assessing mitigation, adaptation, equitable climate action and city readiness to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
It further compares this against cities around the global and evaluates readiness to leverage transition drivers such technology, climate finance, innovative partnerships, and the circular economy, whilst striving to ensure equity, and effective climate governance. The report also emphasises the growing link between net zero and city prosperity through an intersectional understanding and approach to climate action.
