Abstract
INTRODUCTION:
The goals of this project were to increase the
ambition of cities in the UK and the U.S. to
set and achieve net zero greenhouse gas
emissions targets, to encourage more cities
to commit to the UNFCCC “Race to Zero” in
advance of COP 26 in November 2021, and
to promote cross learning and collaboration
between U.S. and UK cities. To support this,
the Boston University Institute for
Sustainable Energy (BU ISE) worked with the
UK Government to deliver two virtual
roundtables, branded as visioning labs to
emphasize the interactivity, which convened
stakeholders from city government,
academia, and net zero experts from North
America and the UK. The visioning labs
convened a total of 51 stakeholders
including representatives of 28 cities. [TRUNCATED]
