UN-Habitat recently released its biannual World Cities Report 2022: Envisioning the Future of Cities. The report examines existing trends, challenges, and opportunities facing urban areas around the world in the aftermath of the pandemic. Chapter 5 titled “Securing a Greener Urban Future,” provides recommendations on the ways city governments can achieve net zero emissions, transition to sustainable modes of transportation, build urban resilience to climate change, engage community groups in city-wide adaptation planning, and introduce nature-based solutions to manage climate impacts.
