Episode 62: Race to Zero

Did you know that 70% of greenhouse gases come from cities?  Greenhouse gas emissions must be cut in half by 2030 if we want to avoid living in an apocalyptic hellscape; while cities are a large part of the problem, they have the power to be an even larger part of the solution.

What is the Race to Zero?  The goal of this global campaign - comprised of a coalition of cities, regions, businesses, and other institutions - is to increase support for a shift to a decarbonized economy PRIOR to the COP26 Climate Change Conference in November.  The members of this coalition are committed to halving their carbon emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050.

Guelph councillors Leanne Caron and James Gordon discuss the "Race to Zero" climate motion they are bringing to city council on December 6th.  

Evan Ferrari, Executive Director of eMERGE, imparts his knowledge of the climate emergency and inspires us to take immediate action to lower our GHG emissions.
