Challenge.
Cities are becoming increasingly bigger and more populated, and their denizens are under siege by the climate crisis. According to the World Bank, by 2025 seven out of every ten people will live in big cities. This will increase the use of urban land, thus putting pressure on the soil and natural resources.
Given that cities are responsible for two thirds of global energy consumption and upwards of 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, it is essential to take measures to tackle the climate emergency. (Washington: World Bank, 2022)
This is why, in order to tackle these challenges, we aim to promote greener and more resilient and inclusive cities.
