Cities Accelerating Change
Mar. 5, 2018 2:30pm - 4:00pm CKUA Building, 9808 Jasper Ave., Edmonton, Alberta workshop - Public event
The Cities Accelerating Change event will provide city leaders from Alberta and delegates from the Cities and Climate Change Science Conference with insights on the four key areas that most efficiently reduce emissions within a city.
Experts from McKinsey & Company and Rocky Mountain Institute will share their research and then, together with the Pembina Institute, dive into exploring opportunities for the participants to put the research into practice in their city. Topics will include buildings, transportation, electricity generation, and waste. Participants will also have a chance to share their experiences with creating stronger cities by addressing emissions and leading the change to a low carbon future, with local, national and international examples.
This event is free and registration is not required, but helps the organization of the session.
