All eyes and ears are tuned for the United Nations Climate Change Conference taking place in Copenhagen (December 7-18). Many small and large organizations are undertaking actions to encourage, support, and persuade their countries' representatives to make important decision and right commitments. The type and number of side events is impressive!
The FUTURE CITY Exhibition is one such event. New York is one of 10 cities to have been selected to participate in this interactive event which aims to highlight local sustainability initiatives. And New York has plenty to show for this. Mayor Bloomberg's administration's ambitious PLANYC 2030 aims to reduce the City's emissions by over 30%. The City set out to achieve this target by undertaking a whole range of initiatives such as reducing the number of cars and building more efficient power plants to reduce the inefficiencies of the main sourse of emissions in the NYC, the buildings. The mayor, known for his dedication to sustainability, will present the city's plans, challenges, and results at this exhibition in Copenhagen.
Besides New York and Copenhagen, the other cities to present their sustainability solutions are Barcelona, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Sao Paolo, and Toronto.
