Ciudades competitivas y Cambio Climático

This report on Competitive Cities and Climate Change presents findings on the impact of metropolitan regions on climate change. It illustrates how local involvement through climate-conscious urban planning and management can help achieve national climate goals and minimise tradeoffs between environmental and economic priorities. The report analyses policy tools that city and regional governments can deploy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to potential climate change impacts, including the greening of existing fiscal policies and new financing arrangements. It also discusses ways in which cities can become more active in the green economy and identifies successful cases where environmental sustainability furthered economic development, such as through renewable energy, public transportation, and climate-friendly R&D.
