EUKN Urban Review: Cities for Climate-Neutrality

Urban areas, especially in the global north, are known to have an immense carbon footprint and negative environmental impact.

As important actors of the shift towards sustainability, legislations, especially on a national level (but also international ones) can have an immense effect on cities and urban areas becoming climate-neutral.
