For the ambitious city to succeed in leading the world on climate action, we have considered how four powerful descriptors could bring new power and clarity to the concept of “Net-Zero” and defined the crucial marker we have to pass to get to a regenerative, sustainable world:

Fully Scoped, Science-Based, Paris-Agreement-Compliant, Cumulative “Net-Zero”.

We then considered how the ambitious city benefits from connected leadership that appreciates, embraces, and is trained in complex systems, creating:

Consequence-curious, Wide-perspective-taking, Depth-finding, Lever-pulling systems thinkers.

As Martin has challenged us all in his Introduction, “How we as leading cities solve the climate crisis will inevitably lie in solving these problems at scale and at a pace that is more aggressive than the national governments the cities reside within”. The city has always been a magnet to ambition. Imagine your city pointing to a clear goal of “Net-Zero” by 2040; led by purpose-driven, connected leaders; aware of, embracing, and trained in the complex system thinking required to accelerate the just transition.
