Stuff article: Transforming transport for climate is key to reducing emissions in Auckland
OPINION: Cities are critical in the global effort to tackle climate change. On Friday, the climate-focused megacity organisation C40 announced that 54 of the world’s largest cities are on track to meet their obligations. These cities show what Auckland can achieve with the same commitment.
Auckland has been a C40 member since 2015; admitted – despite our smaller size – on the basis that we would be an “Innovator City”.
Membership gives us access to knowledge useful for transforming Auckland into a healthy, safe, equitable, and low emission city. Rich with opportunities, where everyone’s needs are easy to access.
Yet we’re starved for serious action.
