In our recent green infrastructure study, we, a group of five urban planning students, delved into Goal No. 13—climate action—of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Our journey involved dissecting the concept of net zero emissions, crafting two insightful blog posts, and presenting our findings, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the climate crisis. Our collaboration culminated in a video showcasing our exploration of net zero and its relevance in shaping a sustainable future. #GREENINFRASTRUCTURE #URBANPLANNING #CLIMATEACTION #BLOG

**Breaking News!** The Colorado-Wyoming Climate Resilience Engine has announced grant opportunities to accelerate climate innovation! The engine is offering two types of grants: * **Use-Inspired Grants**: Focus on developing climate-resilient solutions that address specific regional needs and challenges. * **Translation Grants**: Focus on scaling up existing climate-resilient solutions to new regions and applications. These grants aim to accelerate the development and deployment of climate-resilient solutions, fostering innovation and collaboration between researchers, industries, and communities. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting initiative! #ColoradoWyomingClimateResilienceEngine #ClimateInnovation #GrantOpportunities #Sustainability #ClimateAction Source: https://lnkd.in/guiNVmhk Update Date: 1 day ago

Join us tomorrow at 13:15 for a thought-provoking guest lecture by Mimi Sheller (USA) on “How Can Sustainable Mobilities Be Made More Just?” 🌍 As we push for a sustainable mobility transition, complex issues of mobility justice arise. How do we ensure that green infrastructure doesn't displace low-income communities, harm existing workers, or solely benefit the kinetic elite? And what about the ecological toll of extracting metals for this transition? Mimi Sheller, PhD, Dean of The Global School at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (USA), invites us to critically re-examine climate change, climate mobilities, and climate adaptation through the lens of mobility (in)justice. Welcome to join on site or via Zoom. #SustainableMobilities #JustTransition #MobilityJustice #ClimateAdaptation #UrbanPlanning

How do we power the future with climate tech in our cities? This round table will bring city representatives together to share best practices 💚 What are the most impactful examples of climate tech and greentech solutions you have already seen in cities - either your own or elswhere? 💚 What are the biggest challenges your city encounters when planning and implementing new climate technology? These challenges could involve financing, regulatory hurdles, or public acceptance. 💚 Looking ahead, where do you see the greatest opportunities for your city to leverage climate tech? 💚 In what ways can cities better collaborate to share learnings, explore joint projects, and create a more unified voice to stimulate funding and policy support for climate tech initiatives? Register your interest in joining this round table. Each session is limited to 15 registrants. These are curated events, all registrations will be considered and confirmation of your place will be emailed. https://lnkd.in/es7Wx-h8 #CCAS24 #CCAS2024 #LCAW2024 #CLIMATETECH

🌍 Accelerate Climate Action in Your City with the EU Cities Mission Platform! Are you eager to significantly impact climate action in your city? The EU Cities Mission Platform, managed by NetZeroCities, is extending its support beyond the Mission, offering exciting opportunities for cities to join our initiatives. Join the Twinning Learning Programme! NetZeroCitiesEU EU Science, Research and Innovation The Twinning Learning Programme is crafted to facilitate knowledge transfer and replication across cities. By pairing Twin Cities with those participating in the Pilot Cities Programme, we ensure that Twin Cities benefits from the practical experiences of Pilot Cities currently testing systemic approaches to decarbonising various emissions domains. Key Benefits: 📚 Learn from the innovative approaches of Pilot Cities. 🤝 Collaborate closely with cities pioneering climate action. 🌱 Accelerate your city's journey towards climate neutrality. Apply by 31 May 2024 to join the second cohort of Twin Cities! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d4BgCP-9 #ClimateAction #TwinCities #EUMissions #MissionCities #Decarbonisation #SustainableCities #UrbanDevelopment #PilotCities #HorizonEU
