In our increasingly urbanized world, cities are leading contributors to climate change, consuming two-thirds of the global energy supply and generating three-quarters of the world’s greenhouse-gas emissions. At the same time, people in urban centers are uniquely vulnerable to the effects of climate change, from floods and extreme heat to food insecurity and poor health outcomes.
Cities are uniquely positioned to serve as incubators and implementers of bold action in areas such as sustainable design and regenerative building; remote sensing and modeling; urban ecology; mitigation strategies to address water and air pollution; and novel approaches to public health policies and interventions.
Join us for an enlightening exploration of how cities can catalyze powerful climate solutions that promote more resilient, sustainable, prosperous, and equitable communities for all.
