100 climate actions from cities in Asia and the Pacific

This publication has examples to show how city-level initiatives contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building resilience, all while delivering economic, environmental, health, and social co-benefits. The climate actions are drawn from multiple sectors—renewable energy, carbon finance, transport, land use, information and communication technology, climate action plans, building energy efficiency, solid waste management, sustainable and low-carbon communities, and climate resilience.

This publication clearly demonstrates that no matter the circumstances, cities are in a unique position to take action at the local level to address this global phenomenon. From transitioning to clean cookstoves in Afghanistan, to harnessing volcanic geothermal energy in Indonesia, and from improving access to clean water in Bangladesh, to vast flood resilience plans in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the region is increasingly turning away from dirty and limited fossil fuels to cleaner and renewable energy sources.
