Dundee's Emissions Dashboard

Dundee is the first local authority in Scotland to use the ClimateOS Platform, digitising its climate data in a bid to speed up climate action and reach its goal of net-zero emissions by 2045.

Cities around the world are facing increasing pressure to develop strategies that reduce their emissions. Whether it’s a 2030, 2040 or 2050 net zero target – doing nothing is simply no longer an option. When looking where to start, the choices can be daunting, but as the climate crisis intensifies, long-term planning must not obscure the need for urgent action.
