The world's major cities are also among
the planet's worst polluters but they have the solutions to
most of their problems at their fingertips, a leading
environmental consultancy said on Monday.






To make the case more compelling, consultancy McKinsey said
that most of the available solutions would save more than they
cost so made economic sense while the remainder still made
environmental sense despite their higher cost.

"Most of this is dooable and cost effective and worth doing
irrespective of climate change," director Jeremy Oppenheim told
a conference in London's City Hall to present the findings of
the research sponsored by German industrial giant Siemens.
