This past December, COP28 signalled the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era. 150 heads of state came to the consensus that in order to halve emissions by 2030 - the target that scientists have warned us be must adhere to in order to avoid climate catastrophe - we must transition away from dirty energy. This is a monumental moment for our planet…and cities are going to be leading the way as we execute on these actions.
In season 3 of Cities 1.5, host David Miller is speaking to urban leaders who are driving change locally, with global impacts. Featuring guests like:
- Xiye Bastida, Youth Climate Activist
- Mark Watts, C40 Executive Director
- Agnes Agyepong, Founder and CEO of Global Black Maternal Health
- ...and more!
Season 3 of Cities 1.5 debuts March 5, with a new episode every Tuesday after that.
