As the world continues to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, global cities are taking steps to protect their citizens from the climate crisis and future public health shocks. In this fourth and final webinar in CDP’s Climate and Urban Health series, we will enable cities to better understand what it means to set a ‘net zero target’ and how science-based targets and co-benefit solutions drive the low-carbon transition in ways that work for and protect citizens. We will be joined by José Siri, Senior Science Lead for Cities with the Wellcome Trust’s Our Planet Our Health Team and Maia Kutner, Associate Director with CDP Cities, States & Regions, who leads CDP’s Cities’ work on Science Based Targets and Race to Zero. We’ll also welcome Celia Peterson, Environmental Sustainability Project Manager in Park City (Utah). Park City has made one of North America’s most ambitious climate goals: to be net-zero carbon and run on 100% renewable electricity for city operations by 2022, and for the whole community to be net zero by 2030.
