How is your city tackling the climate crisis? | Marvin Rees | TED Talk

In his TED Talk “How is your city tackling the climate crisis?” Bristol, UK Mayor Marvin Rees explains that cities have a small geographical footprint, but are responsible for 75% of CO2 emissions and consume 80% of the world’s energy. Rees believes cities can be one of the most effective tools in leveraging efficiency into relationships with land, energy and waste. Mayors and city leaders around the world are stepping up to take action, implementing sustainability initiatives such as heat networks, circular waste management, and electric buses. We learn that Bristol is one such city with a fantastic reputation for being one of the greenest in Europe. This talk on sustainable energy will have you thinking green.
