Cities are heating up the planet – how they can do more to fight climate change

<https://theconversation.com/cities-are-heating-up-the-planet-how-they-can-do-more-to-fight-climate-change-259391>

"Cities have a central role to play tackling climate change. They contribute
67–72% of the greenhouse gas emissions which are heating up the planet.

At the same time, cities are increasingly at risk from global warming. Flood,
fire and drought are affecting everything from the cost of insuring homes and
businesses, through to impacts on health and safety.

This is critical given 90% of Australians live in urban areas. Globally, cities
are home to more than four billion people.

Our new study identifies 16 priority actions to address climate change in the
construction and management of cities."
