Episode Notes

Cities are responsible for 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions. City governments are important agents of action because of their close relationships with local businesses and citizens. Equally, companies are increasingly taking action to reduce their carbon emissions because it makes commercial sense in the short and longer-term.
