Nations around the world collectively agreed to uphold the agreement to limit the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius from preindustrial levels with the outcome document of the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) held in November 2021. To achieve this ambitious target, actions must be accelerated at the provincial, city, and district levels in each country. Cities are capable of bringing various stakeholders and sectors together under one umbrella, engaging them in processes ranging from planning to implementing measures in line with local characteristics.
