According to a recent report by KPMG International (KPMG, 2022), the success in achieving global and national carbon neutrality targets depends largely on the decisions and actions of cities regarding climate risk management. Municipal administrations' efforts to manage carbon neutrality can have a significant ripple effect on both the population and the private sector. Unfortunately, few cities have implemented systematic processes to measure carbon emissions, primarily due to a lack of resources. A CIRANO report (Campbell et al., 2025) proposes the development of a carbon emissions dashboard that reflects the activities directly related to the management of a city. This tool could prove highly valuable for any municipal organization seeking to identify the most appropriate measures to reduce its emissions.
