Sustainability Addressed at the Urban Scale

Earth at night held in human hands with energy resources icons.

To what extent is sustainability addressed at urban scale & how closely aligned is it with Earth’s productive capacity?

Our most recent publication is now available free until July 16th, 2023 from Science Direct.

The article asks what role is given to living within Earth’s productive capacity by cities in the quest for urban sustainability and how comprehensively are high-income cities assessing and reducing their impact. Although climate action remains foremost in cities’ sustainability efforts, living within Earth’s carrying capacity is the ultimate goal and our research reveals the journey is still a long one.

The authors would like to thank the Sciences and Humanities Research Council for funding under a Knowledge Synthesis Grant on Living within Earth’s Carrying Capacity.
