The new climate economy http://newclimateeconomy.report/misc/working-papers/ How cities develop will be critical to achieve economic growth and tackle climate change, according to a series of studies just released by the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate. These five studies provide real-world examples of how to achieve better patterns of urbanisation and highlight how cities can grow their economies while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The recent titles include: Accessibility in cities: Transport and urban form; Cities and the new climate economy: The transformative role of global urban growth; Steering urban growth: governance, policy and finance; The economic case for low carbon cities; What impact can local economic development in cities have on global GHG emissions? Assessing the evidence; Path dependence, innovation and the economics of climate change.
