Carbon Emission Reduction
With the adoption of the Paris COP21 Agreement, developed countries are being asked to set emission limits for the coming decades. The size of the reductions is currently the subject of international debate. These indicators intended to contribute to the analysis and assessment phase leading up to the adoption of new targets and timetables for the urban environment. These indicators will aid city decision makers in their examination of what might constitute cost‐effective strategies for limiting CO2 concentrations to alternative levels. The indicators can also be used to explore the implications for near‐term mitigation decisions both at a macro (city) and micro (building) level.
