Excited to be at the final meeting of #ICOS_Cities and seeing all the exciting science the project enabled and how the results are being used by stakeholders.
For the first time, independent monitoring data from #ICOSCities confirms that GHG emissions in Paris have decreased by 25% in the last decade, aligning almost perfectly with the 26% CO₂ reduction reported by @Airparif (2015–2022).

🏙️ Cities are where climate action becomes reality.
National targets set the goals, but cities turn them into measurable impact.
The new FLUXES on #urbanemissions shows how real-time data helps cities track progress and move closer to #netzero.
