We support cities to achieve a just energy transition by unlocking the full potential of energy efficiency and renewable energy through integrated energy planning.
Cities consume over 2/3 of the world’s energy and have a unique role to play in delivering an affordable and resilient energy transition.
Cities can leverage district energy systems, renewables, and integrated cooling and heating services to reduce their energy consumption, as well as associated emissions and energy costs. To achieve this, UNEP is supporting cities to adopt policy-change, regulations, and integrated urban energy planning through financing and capacity-building.
