CURB, Climate Action for Urban Sustainability, is an interactive scenario planning tool developed through collaboration between the World Bank Group, the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and AECOM Consultingthat in order to help cities take action on climate change. By reducing their environmental impact, cities can achieve a variety of local benefits including improved health and air quality, job creation and economic growth, energy independence, while often saving money. CURB helps cities assess the implications of policy and technology interventions by allowing them to evaluate their cost, feasibility, and impact. CURB responds to local realities through a flexible and modular design, allowing users to focus on the information (e.g. energy or emission impacts, cost savings, etc.) that is most relevant to their priorities. The CURB tool is free to download and designed for Excel 2010 and later versions.
