Sustainable development involves managing economic, social and natural capital. This requires taking into account that natural capital may not be easily replaced, with consumption rates not exceeding replacement rates. In 2015, nations adopted 17 ambitious goals designed to foster greater global equity and sustainability – though progress on these targets remains slow and uneven. 1.…

Cities across the world are turning to smart technology in order to become more efficient and sustainable, leading to increased business growth as well as enhanced quality of life for citizens. However, it’s imperative that city officials engage residents in decisions that affect them. Public hearings, community meetings and online forums provide avenues for sharing…

Smart grid is an electricity network that uses advanced digital technologies to optimize system operations and engage end users through new technologies and motivating mechanisms, such as real-time pricing. It enables them to reduce energy consumption during peak periods voluntarily through incentives like real-time pricing. Smart grids facilitate the incorporation of renewable energy sources, such…

Urban mobility underpins all that we do as individuals, communities and regions. It plays a pivotal role in the success of businesses and homes as well as regional and national economies. Effective urban mobility planning demands long-term vision. It must cover key mobility dimensions like congestion, accidents and emissions in order to make a real…

Energy storage is a fundamental element of renewable energy systems. From rechargeable batteries that power our mobile phones to hydroelectric dams that store fossil fuels as water, energy storage can take many forms. Energy storage offers many advantages to the grid. It can help regulate supply and demand on an hour-by-hour basis while improving power…

Land use planning is the practice of allocating land for different uses. It ensures efficient utilization of resources, reduces environmental impacts and fosters economic prosperity.
