世界正在快速城市化，全球大多数人口将在城市中经历气候变化。气候变化将加剧城市现有的环境管理挑战，在大多数情况下使现有问题更加严重。与此同时，城市对全球温室气体排放负有重大责任，鉴于目前的人口趋势，这一水平可能只会随着时间的推移而增加。这些挑战突出表明，城市需要重新思考资产的配置方式和基础设施投资的优先顺序，以及气候将如何影响长期增长和发展计划。由于应对减缓和适应气候变化的复杂挑战需要一种基于知识的方法，因此本研究的基础是提供一种工具，用于评估在城市规模上改善能源系统性能所带来的气候协同效益。本研究旨在评估城市范围内能源系统的不同子部门所产生的预期共同效益。它还将详细讨论行政政策目标支持在减少城市温室气体排放和空气污染方面的作用。该工具最初使用日本横滨市的真实数据进行测试，并估计该市设想的智能城市项目可以实现每年约168万吨的温室气体减排。
The world rapidly urbanizing, and a majority of the global population will experience climate change in cities. Climate change will exacerbate the existing urban environmental management challenges in cities, in most cases making existing problems much worse. At the same time, cities are responsible for significant global greenhouse gas emissions, and given current demographic trends, this level will likely only increase over time. These challenges highlight the need for cities to rethink how assets are deployed and infrastructure investments are prioritized as well as how climate will affect long-term growth and development plans. Since responding to the complex challenges of climate change mitigation and adaptation requires a knowledge-based approach, the present research is based on providing a tool for assessing the climate co-benefits of improving performance of the energy system at the city scale. This research aims to assess the expected co-benefits arising from different sub-sectors of the city-wide energy system. It will also address in some detail the role of executive policy targets support to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and air pollution in cities. The tool is initially tested using real data for the city of Yokohama, Japan and estimates that the city's envisioned Smart City Project could achieve GHG reduction of about 1.68Mt/yr.
