Decarbonising cities is a global agenda with huge significance for the future of urban civilisation. Global demonstrations have shown that technology and design issues are largely solved. However, the mainstreaming of low carbon urban development, particularly at the precinct scale, currently lacks sufficient: standards for measuring carbon covering operational, embodied and transport emissions; assessment and decision-making tools to assist in design options; certifying processes for carbon neutrality within the built environment; and accreditation processes for enabling carbon credits to be generated from precinct-wide urban development. Numerous barriers are currently hindering greater adoption of high performance, low carbon developments, many of which relate to implementation and governance. How to enable and manage precinct-scale renewables and other low carbon technologies within an urban setting is a particular challenge.Green Energy and Technology,1865-3529Energy efficiencyClimate changeEnvironmental economicsSustainable developmentEnergy Efficiencyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000Climate Change Management and Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000Environmental Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Energy efficiency.Climate change.Environmental economics.Sustainable development.Energy Efficiency.Climate Change Management and Policy.Environmental Economics.Sustainable Development.307.1216Rauland Vanessaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut861733Newman Peterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299615203321Decarbonising Cities1922968UNINA
