Description

We live on an even more urban planet, what does this mean for climate change and a sustainable future? Drawing on recent research, Andrew Sudmant explores how cities can solve the sustainability challenges of the 21st century. Drawing on examples from leading cities in the UK and internationally, this podcast offers an opportunity to think about what we’re doing right in cities, what we’re doing wrong, and what needs to happen next to achieve a net-zero future.
