Dubai's recent COP28 summit served as a pivotal moment for the global community to unite and drive transformative climate action. With cities accounting for 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions, urban areas are on the frontlines in the battle against climate change.
Green initiatives emerging from COP28 are crucial for meeting the ambitious targets set by the 2015 Paris Agreement. In this edition of The Hub, host Wang Guan engaged in a dynamic discussion with city officials and stakeholders at the China Pavilion. The conversation focused on how major cities—Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, Sydney in Australia, and Shanghai, Yantai, and Fuzhou in the Chinese mainland—are integrating concrete climate actions, such as green transitions and carbon trading, while balancing socioeconomic development.
These cities have showcased innovative and replicable solutions tailored to their unique strengths. They are progressing towards seamless green transitions, seizing opportunities for growth and development in the process.
