80x50: Mapping Pathways To A Low Carbon NYC

Tuesday, Mar 25, 2014

In December 2013, the City of New York published a study that mapped pathways to reduce the city’s carbon footprint 80% by 2050, compared to a 2005 baseline. The report identifies and analyzes the four highest impact sectors: energy supply, transportation, solid waste and buildings. Not surprisingly, buildings play a major role, accounting for more than 60% of the carbon footprint reductions identified.

Join us to discuss the building sector role in meeting the 80 X 50 target, including challenges ahead and measures necessary to surmount them.
