Cities play an essential role in shaping our future. By 2050 2/3 of the global population is expected to be urban. Several cities around the globe have begun the transition to a sustainable approach modernizing their setup and services through climate technology

Why building sustainable cities is
imperative for the planet and for
the community

75%
of global emissions

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.

60-80
OF global ENERGY CONSUMPTION

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.

50%
OF global WASTE GENERATION

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.
