C40 completes online data gathering process for the third straight year: Around the world cities are leading the way in fighting climate change and, through our partnership with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), C40’s official reporting platform, they are documenting the progress they have made — and the challenges that lie ahead.
As part of our 2012 Year in Review series, we are re-publishing a post by C40 Chair New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg that kicked off the year and set the stage for several C40 milestones in 2012. The original article was published on February 14, 2012.
On the Dialogues site, Dr. Chris Luebkeman, Director, Global Foresight and Innovation at Arup, posted this piece on the urgent challenges and myriad opportunities found in sustainable cities. He would know – last year, Arup and C40 released a report and infographic on the climate actions being undertaken by the world’s megacities; and both remain committed to delivering the data and analysis that underpins effective climate action planning and measurement.
Today marks the United Nation’s World Water Day 2012. It’s an occasion to think about the intersection of our finite resources, a growing global population and the need to foster sustainable development around the world.
