Discover the blueprint for a sustainable future with the Arcadis Sustainable Cities Index 2024. In a world facing urgent climate change and sustainability challenges, Arcadis issues a critical warning to global cities. The report, examining 100 cities across the globe, assesses 67 sustainability metrics to rank urban areas based on the pillars of Planet, People, Profit, and Progress.
With less than 2,000 days remaining until the 2030 deadline for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the latest index highlights stark disparities between leading sustainable cities like Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Munich, and cities lagging behind, such as New York, Sydney, Boston, and Washington DC. The report offers valuable insights into Australian cities’ performance compared to their global counterparts, highlighting areas for improvement to align with the world’s most sustainable cities.
