Note:  

(1) Sustainable Mobility refers to the provision of services and transportation for the mobility of people and goods, reducing fuel consumption and emission to reduce environmental impact, such as public transportation, walkable neighborhoods, and more. 

(2) Green City is a city that is in balance with nature, with biodiversity and the ecosystem being a significant component of urban development and infrastructures. Its design, construction, and operation should prioritise nature conservation such as provision of green spaces in communities, hydroponic farms, and more. 

(3) Adaptation is adjustment actions in ecological, social and economic systems, developed by countries and communities to respond to current and future climate change impacts, ranging from building flood defenses, switching to drought-resistant crops, to developing heat-adaptation policy and heat shelters.
