LONDON/MADRID, July 12 (Reuters) - Just 25 big cities – almost all of them in China – accounted for more than half of the climate-warming gases pumped out by a sample of 167 urban hubs around the world, an analysis of emissions trends showed on Monday.
In per capita terms, however, emissions from cities in the richest parts of the world are still generally higher than those from urban centres in developing countries, researchers found in the study https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsc.2021.696381/full published in the open access journal Frontiers in Sustainable Cities.

LONDON/MADRID, July 12 (Reuters) - Just 25 big cities â almost all of them in China â accounted for more than half of the climate-warming gases pumped out by a sample of 167 urban hubs around the world, an analysis of emissions trends showed on Monday.
In per capita terms, however, emissions from cities in the richest parts of the world are still generally higher than those from urban centres in developing countries, researchers found in the study published in the open access journal Frontiers in Sustainable Cities.
The study compared greenhouse gas emissions reported by 167 cities in 53 countries, and found that 23 Chinese cities - among them Shanghai, Beijing and Handan - along with Moscow and Tokyo accounted for 52% of the total.
We have ample research about Gen Z consumption patterns. 47 percent of young women don’t like to wear the same outfit out more than once. In a post- or near-post-Covid world, we have consumers who have been inside for 18 months. They’ve got loads of events to go to and they want to dress up.
We’re never going to reach a point where suddenly women stop wanting that lovely, confident feeling of wearing an outfit that they love. Nor are we going to ever see someone buy a party dress and wear it 200 times. That leaves women in a position where they can either rent an outfit or buy one, and the outfit a young woman could buy for a price comparable to renting one is going to be from a fast-fashion brand.
