2,000 days to achieve a sustainable future
The window to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals is rapidly closing. With just 2,000 days until the 2030 deadline, it’s clear that every city must intensify efforts to drive sustainable urban development, regardless of their global ranking. For the first time in the Sustainable Cities series, we are introducing Progress as a fourth pillar to assess and report on the extent to which cities are advancing their sustainability efforts.
The Sustainable Cities Index Pillars
Planet
The Planet pillar tracks environmental factors, such as energy production, green policies, and low-carbon infrastructure.
People
The People pillar focuses on the quality of life for citizens through factors such as access to health care and broadband.
Profit
The Profit pillar analyzes business factors, including affordability, ease of doing business, and economic development.
Progress
The Progress pillar uses key indicators from the Planet, People, and Profit pillars over 10 years.
