Exemplary methodology from the European Green City Index

Green City IndexPage

The First Study: The European Green City Index (2009)

Examines 30 major European cities from 30 countries• West European cities dominate the top half of the Index, due in part to their

longer history of environmental awareness• Strong positive correlation between wealth and environmental performance

carbon-neutral by 2025

The Latin American Green City Index (2010)

Compares 17 major cities from 8 countries

• Holistic infrastructure planning is key to tackling environmental challenges

• Brazilian cities perform very well overall because of their strong environmental policies

• Curitiba has a strong track record for a holistic approach

Since the 1980s the urban plan has addressed environmental issues including green areas, waste recycling, and sanitation

The New Climate Economy

If we applied technology levers to the C40 Cities

• Total CO2 Saving 5 Gt (CO2 eq) = 30%

• 25% improvement in air quality

• $3 trillion of investment value

• 22 million additional jobs
