The world&#8217;s cities produce 70+% of all the world&#8217;s carbon emissions and must be ground zero for the climate resilience battle, creating a new market for cutting edge decarbonization technologies that perhaps many of us never thought possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most essential of all of those technologies is Digital Twins. A recent study predicted that by 2025, 500 major world cities will rely on Digital Twin technology to integrate and optimize a multitude of common city functions. I believe this trend will be driven principally by the need to reconfigure cities everywhere as a platform to support and catalyze the development of local, liveable zero-carbon economies as nations tackle climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this is why Cityzenith launched its \u2018Clean Cities &#8211; Clean Future\u2019 initiative late last year,\u00a0pledging to donate its SmartWorldPro Digital Twin software to 10 major cities dedicated to addressing Climate Change &#8211; we will announce the first project in the next few months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Larry Fink said: &#8220;There is no company whose business model will not be profoundly affected by the transition to a net-zero economy: one that emits no more carbon dioxide than it removes from the atmosphere by 2050, the scientifically-established threshold necessary to keep global warming well below 2\u00baC.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of companies have already pledged to zero their carbon emissions by the mid-century, including industry leaders such as Facebook, Mercedes-Benz, CP group, and Mastercard. Dozens of nations are also now legally bound to meet the 2050 net-zero carbon emission target through the 2015 Paris Agreement, such as the United Kingdom, France, New Zealand, and China.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World No1 asset manager BlackRock has put its considerable weight behind a global zero emission economy.
