6. • Signed by 195 States (April 2017)
• Article 4: In order to achieve the long-term
temperature goal set out in Article 2, Parties aim to
reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as
soon as possible, recognizing that peaking will take
longer for developing country Parties, and to
undertake rapid reductions thereafter in accordance
with best available science, so as to achieve a
balance between anthropogenic emissions by
sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse
gases in the second half of this century, on the
basis of equity, and in the context of sustainable
development and efforts to eradicate poverty.
Paris Agreement (2015)

14. Smart cities - Challenges
• Productivity: decent and productive job and
productive infrastructure (roads, public transport,
electrical grid, communications, water and sewer,
waste management);
• Social inclusion: social mobility, housing,
schools;
• Efficient Urban Planning: cooperation,
confidence, participation;
• Environmental resilience: air and water
pollution, soil degradation, vector diseases, climate
shocks, extreme weather events, earthquakes,
volcanos
