Cities are highly responsible of climate change like temperature increase and drought. 1.6 billion people could be vulnerable to chronic extreme heat (up from 200 million today), and 650 million could face water scarcity.
Cities cover only 3% of the planet surface, at the same time, they are big consumers. The rapid urbanization is placing very high pressure on access to basic services such as heating, cooling and water.
In 2022, an average of 82% of municipal solid waste globally was being collected and only 55% was being managed in controlled facilities. It is estimated that globally by 2050, the levels of municipal solid waste will double.
Emissions
capture
Air pollution abatement technologies available for indoor and outdoor spaces that can effectively remove harmful pollutants and CO2 from the air.
