The city of Buenos Aires is taking advantage of nature as part of the solution, aware that it – through the diversity of ecosystem services it provides – has the answers to many of our challenges.

With the commitment to reduce emissions by 53% by 2030 and 84% by 2050, Buenos Aires is working to be a carbon neutral, cleaner and greener city. But the city isn’t just focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions; but is also dedicated to creating the conditions to care for all its residents, particularly those most vulnerable to climate change. The city has the ambition to enable a life where everything its citizens need is just a few blocks from home, making better use of local resources and valuing public spaces. This human-scale approach seeks to improve quality of life by converting travel time into moments of rest, recreation, and family connection.

In addition, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires meets in the Climate Change Cabinet, an inter-ministerial and transversal space, where synergies are generated to enhance all the actions that the city has been carrying out.

Why we love cities

Over 50% of people live in cities – generating over 70% of our climate footprint

But cities also offer an immense opportunity to create better places to live while contributing to a healthier
planet. Through better transport, green buildings, harnessing the power of nature, wasting less and loving
more, cities can lead the way to a climate-friendly future.

We love to get around

We love to get around

Our participating cities are transforming the way people travel. For sustainable cities, improving the way people get around also means reducing the amount of energy we use while improving air quality and health. Transportation accounts for 25% of global energy use so cities are finding ways to change that. Car-free and car-restricted areas, electrification, more public transport, promoting cycling and pedestrian-friendly streets are just some of the better ways to travel that will lead to a healthier environment.

We love the power of nature

We love the power of nature

Our participating cities love the power of nature and are becoming hotspots for nature-based solutions and renewable energy solutions. Right now, city dwellers are responsible for over 70% of our planet’s energy-related carbon emissions. But by becoming trailblazers for renewables, cities have the opportunity to change that. From solar water heating, geothermal heating, biogas, wind farms, solar electricity and smart grids, renewables don’t affect the air we breathe, our water supplies and our climate system. And that means healthy, happier people.

We love green buildings

We love green buildings

Our participating cities are at the forefront of improving the places that we live and work. Buildings define the character of our cities. But it’s not just about what they look like, it’s about how they work too. Buildings use one third of the world’s energy, and in bigger cities they account for up to 80% of carbon emissions. By championing new designs, incentives and standards, cities are leading the way to more energy-efficient homes, and inspiring a global trend where new buildings become energy producers rather than energy consumers.

We love clean living

By wasting less and loving more, our participating cities are leading the way to smart waste solutions. Like turning waste into a resource. Biogas, district heating, compost, fertilizer, irrigation, and recycled goods all come from waste and waste water. And making these resources creates jobs too. By minimizing and trapping waste for material and energy, smarter urban waste management improves the economy, the environment and promotes clean living – all at the same time.

We love to eat

From top restaurants to cool street stalls,
food is a big part of what defines a city

From top restaurants to cool street stalls, food is a big part of what defines a city. It’s also becoming a big part of the sustainability journey. Climate-smart food procurement and the promotion of more veggie based diets addresses food’s climate impact as well as health issues; urban farming is improving food security; while hospitals and schools are recycling packaging and composting leftovers so nothing goes to waste. The more cities use the power of food, the better cities will become.
