A Review of Climate Change Mitigation Measures from Major Cities of United Kingdom and China

The study explored new strategies and technologies being used by cities around United Kingdom and China to mitigate climate change. So as to enable other cities in the world to emulate similar strategies. Hence, the study reviewed the adaptation strategies of five cities. One of such strategies is the “sustainable Glasgow project” aimed at reducing Glasgow’s carbon emissions through improved energy management and the development of new integrated low carbon energy systems for the city. Similarly many organisations in Dundee set up a “carbon reduction targets”. The Lewisham Council established a systematic approach to energy monitoring, based on electronic data retrieval systems. China although a non-Annexe1 country, also hosted the largest number of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects and also generated the largest number of certified emission reduction (CERs) in the world.
