Key Findings

 

One observation that can be made based on this model is in many countries, a small number of large and or affluent cities drive a significant share of national total emissions.

 

This means concerted action by a small number of local mayors and governments has the potential to significantly reduce national total carbon footprints. Some other observations based on the results include:

 

● Globally, carbon footprints are highly concentrated into a small number of dense, high-income cities and affluent suburbs

 

 100 cities drive 18% of global emissions

 

 In most countries (98 of 187 assessed), the top three urban areas drive more than one-quarter of national emissions

 

 We define cities as population clusters, but in practice mapping footprints to local jurisdictional bounds is complex

 

 41 of the top 200 cities are in countries where total and per capita emissions are low e.g. Dhaka, Cairo, Lima). In these cities population and affluence combine to drive footprints at a similar scale as the highest income cities

 

 For large and high-income cities, their total Scope 3 footprint is much larger than the city's direct emissions

 

 Radical decarbonization measures (limiting nonelectric vehicles; requiring 100% renewable electricity) can induce substantial emissions reductions beyond city boundaries. In wealthy, high-consumption, high-footprint localities such measures may require only a small investment relative to median income, yet accomplish large reductions in total footprint emissions

 

 Local action at the city and state level can meaningfully affect national and global emissions
