Happy #WorldCitiesDay! A UN-Habitat report published this summer found that urban priorities featured prominently in just 26% of the 194 NDCs submitted in 2023. Lea Ranalder, Associate Programme Management Officer for Human Settlements at UN-Habitat, called this a “big missed opportunity." Indeed, cities function as crucial hubs for refining and scaling innovations and are an obvious place to start cutting emissions (home to 56% of the world’s population, cities contribute 67-72% of global CO2 emissions!). With #COP29 approaching, it is time to recognize the immense potential cities possess as catalysts for transformative change and commit to bold targets to drive meaningful emissions reduction, mitigation and adaptation efforts.

Our full interview with Todd Stern is now live on our YouTube channel. Stern is the former United States Special Envoy for Climate Change and the US' chief negotiator at the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. His new book 'Landing the Paris Agreement: How It Happened, Why It Matters, and What Comes Next' offers a behind-the-scenes description of every step that led to the Paris Climate Agreement, in exhaustive detail. We learn who was involved, what meetings they had, how the negotiators arrived at specific wording in various agreements, what they ate for lunch, and what color each delegate’s hair was.
