Exploring the Role of Smart Cities in Combating Cl

Exploring the Role of Smart Cities in Combating Climate Change at COP 29 🌍

It was a privilege to share insights on how Smart Cities can become sanctuaries for humanity in the face of climate change at the Russia Pavilion during #COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.

With 56% of the global population now living in urban areas—a figure expected to double by 2050—cities are both drivers of opportunity and contributors to global challenges. Urban areas produce over 70% of greenhouse gas emissions while consuming two-thirds of the world’s energy. Yet, they remain engines of innovation, hubs of economic growth, and critical to achieving climate neutrality.

Smart Cities offer a pathway forward by integrating advanced digital solutions, automating systems, and enhancing urban infrastructure. These initiatives aim to improve quality of life, accelerate sustainable economic development, and align urbanism with environmental stewardship.

A heartfelt thanks to Mr. Sergey Kurilko and Ms. Tatiana Zavyalova of Sberbank for moderating this vital discussion, and to esteemed speakers who enriched the dialogue:

Andrey Likhachev (JSC SD Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye)
Mehmet Erdem Samut (Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality)
Musa Miranda (ADE SAMPA, Sao Paulo)
Dr. Vibha Dhawan (The Energy and Resources Institute - TERI)
Mohammed Asgharuddin Ahmed (ASCIF Ambassador in Saudi Arabia and Founder of KAYA Consulting Services).

Let’s continue building smarter, greener cities for a sustainable future.
