Introduction to C40’s Guidance for Carbon Neutral Cities and the Role of Offsets

Cities play an important role in delivering climate solutions. If cities are to drive the rapid and systemic change the Paris Agreement prescribes, it is crucial to have clear guidance on what citywide carbon neutrality looks like and how to implement and realize both interim milestones and carbon neutrality. Join us for a discussion of C40’s guidance for citywide carbon neutrality implementation strategies, defining milestones, and the role of carbon offsets.
