this year’s Carbon Disclosure Program (CDP) Cities North America Workshop hosted with the City of San Diego on Wednesday, October 25th, 11:00AM-5:15PM, in San Diego, California. The CDP workshop follows the annual meeting for the Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN) from October 22nd to October 25th. This is an opportunity for you to learn how to better engage businesses in your area to align your sustainability targets and action plan.
CDP will be addressing the following questions: How can cities and companies work more closely on their respective climate goals? What needs to happen to make this actionable? What is the role of data in this and what information do cities need from companies and vice versa? How can cities benefit from company 100% RE targets, science-based target setting, and supply chain management?
Planned sessions:
- The U.S. Withdraws From the Paris Agreement, Now What? How Cities and Companies Can Engage on Climate Advocacy and Action
- Case Study of Collaboration Between Businesses and the City of San Diego
- Driving Cities’ Actions Through Disclosure
- How Does Disclosure Lead to Action? Roundtable discussion featuring insights from CDP corporate teams
