What makes a city sustainable? It’s a combination of a commitment to clean energy, green spaces and reduced emissions. But it’s also in the little things. Giving back to the community, supporting local businesses and switching to eco-friendly lifestyles can also make a difference.
At Enchanting Travels, we believe in responsible travel. As a Travelife Partner, we strive to create sustainable travel experiences and make a positive impact while working with partners who share our vision for a better world. It is a work in progress and we seek inspiration from cities across the world that are doing it right.
From the island of Singapore to the thriving megapolis of Dubai and the charming European city of Amsterdam, here’s our list of some of the world’s most sustainable cities.
1. Reykjavik, Iceland
Iceland takes sustainability quite seriously. This stunning country with its otherworldly landscape aims to be carbon neutral by 2040. About 90 percent of its energy needs are currently being met by renewable sources – hydropower and geothermal power. The Land Of Fire And Ice knows a thing or two about harnessing its intrinsic energy to help lower emissions and carbon footprint.

What You Can Expect: Our Iceland tours are designed to showcase the country’s unmatched natural beauty and commitment to sustainability. The Blue Lagoon, for instance, is a perfect example of direct geothermal energy. Our South Iceland Road Trip gives you a glimpse of the region’s great outdoors dotted with tumbling waterfalls, volcanic mountains, glaciers, beaches and lakes. The icing on the cake is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to witness the glorious spectacle, Aurora Borealis, on our Northern Lights Road Trip.

Singapore is leading the way when it comes to reimagining urban spaces. Whether it’s setting apart prime real estate for greenery (such as in Marina Bay) or making sure all structures adhere to stringent green building standards, the island country is ensuring development and sustainability go hand in hand. It is currently building a one-of-its-kind smart forest town in a 700-hectare space complete with green spaces, public housing, forest corridors, community farming and more.
