How London compares to other leading cities on carbon/energy

May 2012: The World Bank have just published a report which focuses on Chinese cities and the need for these areas of growth to respond to the challenges of climate change. The report however also provides a comparison of London against a number of other world cities, looking at a range of low-carbon metrics (emissions per capita, CO2 intensity, energy consumption per capita and so on – see Tabl3 3.1 – pg 85) which may be of interest. The World Bank news story around the release of the report is available here, and the report itself – Sustainable low-carbon city development in China – can be downloaded here.
