Climate Change Mitigation is action to reduce the net amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, and thus help to slow down the process of climate change resulting from human activities. Cities are responsible for at least 75% of Greenhouse Gas emissions. Seventy-five per cent of global energy consumption occurs in cities and roughly half of this comes from burning fossil fuels in cities for urban transport. As such, every single dollar spent reducing this consumption is the single most cost-effective measure local governments can take in terms of climate change mitigation. City officials have the responsibility to design their cities according to compact and mixed-use models to mitigate climate change as much as possible. When developing an urban strategy, for instance, investing in non-motorized transportation can serve to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while, at the same time, generate adaptation benefits by reducing health problems caused by traffic congestion and pollution.

A new study finds that U.S. residents struggle to understand terms frequently used by scientists to describe climate change. Study participants said some of the terms were too complex to understand. Other terms were misunderstood in the context of climate change. Participants suggested simpler, alternative language.

When it comes to coping with climate change, there may be two types of people: those who take action to try to improve the environment and those who don't bother because they don't believe their actions will make a difference.

UCLG Pact for the Future is an initiative by the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) organisation – a global network that represents and advocates for local and regional governments around the world – to mobilise cities of all kind to address pressing global challenges such as climate change, inequality, poverty and sustainable development. A manifesto at heart, UCLG Pact for the Future details the events in UCLG’s history and also outlines a promise and a plan to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To translate the project into both an appealing and understandable format, Barcelona-based UCLG reached out to their neighbour, Codea Studio.
