Smart Cities and the Challenge of Cities’ Energy Autonomy
It is now more than ever understood that efforts to slow down climate change at all levels need to be stepped up. Characteristic are the findings presented in the recent IPCC report (October 2018) confirming that global warming by about 1.0 ° C above preindustrial levels is due to anthropogenic activities, with global warming reported to be likely to reach 1.5 °C in the next 12–32 years based on current trends. The report’s conclusions explain the potential catastrophic impact of the 1.5 °C growth scenario and underline the fact that mankind has only 12 years to reduce global net anthropogenic CO2 emissions by about 45% compared to 2005 levels, reaching “net zero” around 2050. This means that the remaining emissions should be offset by the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere (Papaioannou et al. 2015; Athanassoulis et al. 2018).
