80% of our energy still comes from fossil fuels.
But cities can change this. By retrofitting buildings, adding rooftop solar, and creating green spaces for cooling, they cut emissions and improve lives.
With bold action, cities can lead the clean energy transition. πβ‘
π³ #NatureBasedSolutions put ecosystems to work for people and cities.
Integrating green spaces and restoring wetlands makes cities more resilient and enjoyable.
Mangroves and urban projects show how #NbS manage water and improve life.
Letβs build cities with nature, not against itπ€
