Drawing on the framework of the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Peter Newman outlines how cities can achieve net zero and sustainability agendas together as part of the global shift to a new economy.\n\nNewman examines key strategies for developing net zero cities, showing that core technologies of renewable energy, batteries and electric vehicles are commercially available but that how best to integrate them into different parts of cities is now the urban practitioners role. He explores projects that are demonstrating net zero with sustainability outcomes and even net positive with regen.
