Exploring urban emissions: the latest issue of FLUXES is out now!
Cities emit a large amount of greenhouse gases, but they also hold significant potential to mitigate the climate crisis. While national governments set ambitious climate targets, cities are where policies turn into tangible action.
For a city to truly tackle its greenhouse gas emissions, it must first know what it’s up against. Cities need accurate and timely emissions data to monitor and track climate action progress.
This volume of FLUXES focuses on greenhouse gas emissions in cities. The topics are the following:
- New emissions data guides cities towards zero carbon
- Decarbonising cities: transport, buildings and nature
- Tracking city climate action impact with digital tools

Power of cities
Cities emit a large amount of greenhouse gases, but they also hold significant potential to mitigate the climate crisis. While national governments set ambitious climate targets, cities are where policies turn into tangible action.

Decarbonising cities
Decarbonising cities is not just about reducing emissions: it is about building healthier communities, robust economies, and increasing climate resilience. This requires a fundamental reimagining of urban planning, transport, energy systems, and green spaces.

Emissions monitoring
Knowing whether climate actions are effective is crucial for cities, but gathering precise, up-to-date emissions data is a challenge. Advanced sensor technology can help, providing frequent, accurate updates and empowering urban centres striving towards a low-emission future.

Tracking climate actions
How do cities know if their climate actions are working? Innovative tools and data services are emerging to answer this critical question. These solutions, from open data initiatives to online platforms, are providing cities with the information required to measure progress, optimise strategies, and achieve their environmental goals.
