Cities occupy just a small fraction of Earth's land, but they act as the planet's massive carbon engines, pumping out the lion's share of global CO2 emissions. To stop climate change, we first have to measure it accurately—street by street and chimney by chimney. A comprehensive new review published in Carbon Research takes a deep dive into the sophisticated networks designed to "sniff out" these emissions, highlighting both the technological triumphs and the massive gaps still remaining in our global monitoring net.
