He is known for his reflections, initiatives, and applications focused on the smart, sustainable, and sensitive city and he is at the origin of the 15 minute city concept.

The global network of cities for climate, the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group has adopted,^[9][10] in May 2020 the 15 minute city concept in response to the climate crisis and the urban effects of the COVID-19 crisis.

On 10 October 2020 Carlos Moreno is the French personality participating with 39 others in the launch of the global climate initiative "Countdown".^[11] Together with Antonio Guterres, Pope Francis, former US Vice President Al Gore, EU President Ursula Von der Leyen, Prince William, actress and activist Jane Fonda, an appeal^[12] was launched to intensify the fight for climate change.
