Book excerpt: This publication showcases 100 projects and programs tackling climate change and its impacts on people and the environment in cities across Asia and the Pacific. The climate actions are drawn from multiple sectors-renewable energy, carbon finance, transport, land use, information and communication technology, climate action plans, building energy efficiency, solid waste management, sustainable and low-carbon communities, and climate resilience. The examples show how city-level initiatives contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building resilience, all while delivering economic, environmental, health, and social co-benefits.
