Schneider Electric, the Enel Group and the World Economic Forum (WEF) have published the first deliverable of the "Net Zero Carbon Cities - Systemic Efficiency Initiative"; a global framework setting the vision to accelerate the decarbonization and resiliency efforts in cities around the world. Entitled "Net-Zero Carbon Cities: An Integrated Approach", and developed in collaboration with the WEF, the report outlines the need and benefit deriving from an integrated energy approach in planning and managing buildings, mobility, leveraging on a digitalized and intelligent grid infrastructure in an urban context. Cities account for nearly 70% of global carbon emissions and consume 78% of the planet's energy, making such an approach critical to reaching the goal of limiting the rise in global temperatures to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
