Why urban climate action is facing a 'greenlash'
Original: ‘Urban Greenlash’: Why is climate action facing opposition across cities?
Cities trying to cut emissions — through low-traffic zones, car bans, congestion charges and building rules — are running into growing resistance from residents, businesses and politicians who say the measures are unfair, costly or imposed from above. Commentators describe this pushback as an 'urban greenlash', and debate is intensifying over how climate policy can win public support at city level.
Why now: Climate measures in cities have triggered visible public and political opposition, prompting debate over how to sustain them.
