Potential contribution of urban GHG abatement in China to Paris goals While China’s urban transportation sector offers considerable potential for GHG reductions, our model suggests that the largest abatement opportunities can be found in the buildings sector (Table 1). [...] Potential contribution of urban GHG abatement in India to Paris goals The greatest potential for reducing GHG emissions in Indian cities is in the buildings sector. [...] Potential contribution of urban G HG abatement in Indonesia to Paris goals * The buildings sector in Indonesia, dominates both total GHG emissions and GHG abatement potential for the sectors modelled. [...] Mexico GHG abatement potential in 2050 by urban area population size While national laws set the agenda for urban climate action in Mexico, much of the authority and responsibility for enacting the agenda is delegated to state and municipal governments. [...] Potential contribution of urban GHG abatement in Brazil to Paris goals Although building sector GHG emissions (especially from residential buildings) are expected to increase more than in other urban sectors in the reference case, our 19 model suggests that the largest potential for reducing emissions lies in the transport sector (Table 11).
