A low-carbon community is one that has eliminated all or nearly all human-generated carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In addition, such a community is usually addressing any residual emissions through carbon sequestration and carbon-offset initiatives. Those in the low-carbon community movement go by a number of names, such as zero-carbon, net-zero, carbon-free, carbon-neutral, and climate-friendly communities. These communities also seek not just to reduce emissions but to enhance overall sustainability and livability. A number of cities around the world have made bold announcements (also see figure 5.1) |
