How US cities and counties are getting renewable energy

Cities are a core driver of climate change, accounting for more than 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. Precisely because they are such big GHG emitters, cities can be at the forefront in tackling climate change by leading the switch to clean energy. Over the last five years, more U.S. cities have started setting and acting upon their renewable energy goals. This will be critical if the United States is to achieve its Paris Agreement commitments, given the current lack of federal action.
