According to the International Energy Agency’s latest report on smart cities, new technologies and increased connectivity are opening massive opportunities for city-level authorities to develop efficient, sustainable energy solutions that enable municipalities to accelerate their transition towards a clean, low-carbon future. Although cities generate more than 80% of the global GDP, they consume over two-thirds of the world’s energy and account for more than 70% of global CO2 emissions, which will require leveraging digital solutions to drive a sustainable energy transition and reach net zero by 2050.
