The document discusses the Carbon Track and Trace (CTT) initiative aimed at facilitating climate-smart city strategies by improving the monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions. It emphasizes the need for data-driven tools to assess the impact of climate actions and integrate these insights into city planning and decision-making. Ultimately, better greenhouse gas accounting is presented as crucial for prioritizing mitigation efforts and linking investments to measurable emission reductions.
