Cities contribute about 70 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, and therefore must play a major role in addressing climate change. From sustainable transportation to the circular economy, cities across Canada and around the world are exploring new strategies to create thriving, resilient, and carbon-neutral communities.
On the heels of COP27, join urban leaders and experts as we examine urgent opportunities for cities to adapt and respond to climate change.
