Most Eco-Friendly Cities in the World (Part 1)

The video highlights the world's most eco‑friendly cities, showcasing how each city implements sustainable practices to reduce emissions, improve air quality, and promote green living. Starting with Oslo, Norway, where grassroots involvement drives eco‑efficiency and clean streets, the list moves to Stockholm, Sweden, known for its clean environment and long‑term goal of becoming fossil‑fuel free by 2050. Columbia, Missouri, in the United States, demonstrates how city‑wide grants and green groups can lower energy use and support environmental projects. Vancouver, Canada, leads in CO₂ emissions per capita and aims to cut emissions by 20 % while planting 150,000 trees by 2020. South Africa’s Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban each excel in different green categories, with Durban targeting zero waste and carbon neutrality. San Francisco, the first U.S. city to introduce mandatory recycling bins, benefits from a robust public‑transport system and incentives for electric vehicles. The video continues with other cities, illustrating how diverse strategies—from community initiatives to ambitious policy goals—can create sustainable urban environments.
