Description
Mehmet Efe Biresselioglu and co-authors surveyed experts in eleven Lighthouse Cities about cutting greenhouse gases, in a study published in 2023. These cities, from Baku to Cape Town, joined a shared project to shift daily habits toward lower emissions. The team asked eighty-nine experts how their cities work on climate at the local level.
Experts named raising awareness and sharing information as a core part of city plans. For habit change, they put saving energy and green travel first. The side-by-side read shows what leading cities lean on and where their powers stop. The authors argue city halls hold real, if bounded, leverage over how residents live.
