High Resolution Emission Inventories in Near Real Time for Cities

Summary

Cities struggle with a significant delay and lack of detail in their CO2 emission inventories, hindering effective urban planning and climate action. The Carbon Monitor initiative addresses this by developing a global, high-resolution, near real-time GHG emission dataset for cities, leveraging AI and satellite data to provide block- and street-level insights. This project is in progress, with Carbon Monitor Cities 1.0 already covering 1300 cities and an advanced version (2.0) aiming for daily updates and granular spatial resolution to support agile urban carbon management.
