Just 100 cities but about the globe practise 18% of the world's emissions. The upside to heavily polluting cities contributing together with therefore much to the world's carbon footprint is that local activity at the metropolis score could bring a meaningfully touching on on global emissions.
City Carbon Footprints has created an interactive map of the 100 cities that contribute the almost to the global carbon footprint. The Carbon Footprints of World Cities map shows the overstep x polluting cities inwards red, the 11-50 almost polluting cities inwards orangish together with the 51-100 almost polluting cities inwards blue. If yous direct a metropolis on the map yous tin persuasion the city's set inwards the overstep 100 together with besides the per centum that the selected metropolis contributes to its country's national carbon footprint.
The overstep 100 cities shown on the map is based on the Global Gridded Model of Carbon Footprints (GGMCF). The GGMCF shows an gauge of carbon footprints across the basis downwards to 250m. The interactive map on City Carbon Footprints besides includes a layer which shows the GGMCF inwards per capita terms.
