Webinar: Designing Climate Solutions for Post-Carbon Cities

This 90-minute webinar, Designing Climate Solutions for Post-Carbon Cities Webinar, explored three pressing questions that relate to climate change:  What are the top priority emissions reduction policies that should be implemented now? What role do cities play in implementing and influencing these policies? How should these policies be designed to address the needs of vulnerable communities?

Webinar: Resilient by Design

Resilience-the capacity to survive, adapt, and grow in the face of change-is a characteristic of all living systems. Human communities are remarkably resilient as is proven when a city can completely rebuild after catastrophic events. In contrast, engineered systems such as machines and structures are generally more "brittle" and prone to failure.
