Study Notes
areas. Transportation and buildings are the two largest sources of GHG emissions in cities. Many cities have set targets to reduce their GHG emissions, often through measures like increasing public transportation, promoting energy efficiency in buildings, and transitioning to renewable energy sources. Cities are also taking steps to adapt to the impacts of climate change, such as implementing heat warning systems, building green infrastructure to manage stormwater, and developing plans for sea level rise. However, there are challenges to implementing these measures, such as limited funding and political will, and the need for coordination between different levels of government and stakeholders.
