Urban Equilibrium (UE) is considered in relation to climate change. UE = Sequestration optimisation + Storage maximisation + Emission minimisation. UE contributes to achieving urban sustainability and carbon emission mitigation. Urban governance backs economic & social development managed environmentally. Auckland (NZ) can reduce its carbon emissions 20% earlier than planned by using UE.
