Auckland selected to showcase climate initiatives
Cities represent over half the global population, consume over two-thirds of the world’s energy and account for more than 70 per cent of global CO2 emissions.
Eleven cities, including Auckland, are offering some of the world’s best examples of impactful urban climate action.
Located in COP26’s Green Zone, the Global Cities Climate Action Exhibition by Arup and C40 Cities highlights the critical role of cities in reaching the ambitious targets being discussed at COP26.
Auckland features in the exhibition alongside Beijing, Bogotá, Istanbul, Jakarta, Lima, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, Nairobi, and Washington, D.C. Together, these cities represent more than 109 million people.
Auckland's six featured projects are:
- Stream restoration in Central Auckland
- $1 billion in green bonds
- Regenerative approaches in practice
- Zero emissions public transport
- Green energy at Auckland ports
- Kerbside food scraps service
