Why do we need smart and sustainable cities?
Cities consume
78%
of the world’s energy
Cities produce over
50%
of global waste
Cities emit between
60-80%
of greenhouse gas emissions
Cities account for less
2%
of the Earth’s surface
It’s complicated, interconnected, technical, social and human all at the same time! But cities need to integrate smart technology and sustainability fast. Cities consume a majority of the planet’s resources and generate between 60-80% of greenhouse gas emissions.
Leadership and innovation from cities are needed to change this.
But smart and sustainable cities also make significant improvements to the quality of life, health, inclusion and investment.
IRIS Smart Cities
