🏭 Cities are key contributors to Carbon dioxide emissions yet catalysts for climate action. Currently responsible for around 75% of global Carbon dioxide emissions, cities – and in particular the transport systems and office buildings – play a pivotal role in the world’s response to the climate crisis. 🌱 In addition to being central to the transformation to inclusive and green economies, cities are also at the forefront of efforts to empower local communities with the knowledge and skills that are needed to break long-established patterns of unsustainable consumption, production and mobility. 📚 The learning city concept provides an effective framework for transforming urban environments through lifelong learning. Achieving the transition towards net-zero in cities requires social change, which is manifested in individuals’ everyday life practices and broader social relations and structures. #LifelongLearning #ClimateAction #LearningCities
