Mark Watts will explain why action at the city level is essential to averting the worst of the climate crisis. At the global level, we are off track to limit heating to the 1.5°C average temperature rise of the Paris Agreement, but cities are taking action aligned with that goal. Mark will show that science-based climate action necessitates the phaseout of all fossil fuels and will share case studies from global cities who are taking action to deliver that. Finally, he will show how well-designed policies to improve the sustainability of urban life can create good, green jobs and make cities better and healthier places to live.
