Great info-graphic on Building Low Carbon Cities!

originally posted by Ana Hagerup – Project Coordinator at VHB

This info-graphic tells the global story of ubranization and climate change. With more people moving to cities and coastal areas it is expected that more people will be exposed and vulnerable to extreme weather events. Climate Smart Communities are part of the solution striving toward livable, low-carbon and resilient cities. This info-graphic supports the CSC Pledge Elements and framework to 1) Develop Greenhouse Gas Inventories 2) Evaluate the Emission Reduction Potential and 3) Climate-Smart Capital Investment Planning through Climate Action Plans.

Together CSCs are making a difference! Visit our website to see a full list of Climate Smart Pledge Elements and related climate actions: www.MidHudsonCSC.org
