Low-Carbon City Development in China: Evaluation Results for More Than 100 Cities Around the World

This study constructs a low-carbon city evaluation system encompassing four key areas: low-carbon production, consumption, environment, and progress. Jointly developed by the World Resources Institute and the Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning, the study assesses 102 cities worldwide using 15 key indicators. By classifying cities based on climate zones, industrial structure, and international status, it offers a standardized assessment framework and valuable insights to support low-carbon urban development, with a particular focus on Chinese cities.
