Climate change mitigation refers to any action taken that reduce or avert greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, such as switching to renewable energy sources, cutting waste production and adopting regenerative agricultural practices. Support businesses that use resources responsibly. Collectively, we can all make a difference by demanding change from our governments and businesses. Local…

Green buildings are designed to reduce environmental impact – from extraction, production and transport energy used in extracting building materials, through operating energy used for providing services and powering equipment, down to considerations regarding health and wellbeing of their occupants. Organizations benefit from reduced operational costs, regulatory compliance and healthy environments. Energy Efficiency By using…

Develop partnerships with private developers to promote mixed-use development on publicly owned property, such as near transit stations. Prioritize including affordable housing in mixed-use developments to avoid gentrification – where rising property values displace longtime residents. Well-designed mixed-use districts combine daily life activities into compact environments that promote diversity while supporting equitable communities. Such spaces…

TOD (Transit-oriented Development) is an approach to urban development that promotes compact growth by combining land use and transport services into one seamless package, leading to less dependence on automobiles, shorter trips, healthier lifestyles and sustainable communities. TOD areas typically lie within 1/4 to 1/2 miles (400 to 800 meters) of transit stations and offer…

Sustainable urban infrastructure seeks to minimize the negative consequences of decisions made by urban citizens on environmental, social and economic systems in their city. Zoning reforms, building standards and environmental regulations can all serve to move cities towards sustainability. To get there quickly and sustainably, incentives that foster these practices need to be created for…

Sustainability Development refers to meeting today’s economic needs without jeopardizing future generations’ well-being. Its three pillars include economic, environmental and social considerations. Many market-based economies operate under an economic system that prioritizes exploitative behavior over protecting nature. To become sustainable-aligned, they need to shift their values and practices toward sustainability; doing so would establish positive,…

Energy efficiency is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to cut our energy costs and pollution emissions, while benefitting our economy by relieving strain from our power grid and other critical infrastructure. Energy efficient appliances, homes, buildings and industrial processes use less energy to deliver services of equal or better quality – thus…

New technologies are making cities smarter and more efficient. They’re helping traffic lights self-adapt to reduce congestion, saving NYC on energy costs, and bringing nature back into urban living spaces. But these systems rely on real-time data and require secure, fast messaging infrastructure designed to scale. 1. Real-time data collection and analysis Smart cities employ…

Energy industry transformations are currently taking place at an unprecedented rate, moving towards greater sustainability, efficiency, and resilience. Smart grids are making this possible by providing visibility and control of all aspects of an energy network. Smart grids enable this integration seamlessly by aligning charging schedules and power production with grid conditions. Real-time data Smart…

Urban mobility encompasses how people travel within cities, especially large metropolises. It includes technologies and services designed to allow city residents to navigate their communities more safely and efficiently. This issue is essential because it directly impacts a rising global population’s access to employment, services, opportunities and climate emissions reduction efforts. Furthermore, air quality can…
