Cities account for more than 50% of the planet’s population and are responsible for more than 70% of global carbon emissions. To combat this, decarbonization strategies are being employed by cities around the world. Smart city technologies will be a critical asset for this transformation.

New research by the World Economic Forum and BCG shows that it’s possible to decarbonize major global supply chains with readily available technologies at low end-to-end costs. The commitment to tackling climate change is accelerating in all sectors of society, with net-zero pledges from companies, cities, and states doubling in the past year.
