Although cities cover just 3% of the Earth’s surface, they generate 72% of global emissions and consume over 65% of the world’s energy, making them central to effective climate action. In Europe, bold efforts are underway to achieve the EU mission of 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030, with the Swedish program Viable Cities at the forefront.
