CDP: Bristol and Indianapolis – a tale of two cities tackling climate change and social inequality
What if climate action can tackle social inequalities too? In the wake of recent protests against racism globally, now more than ever, citizens’ concern for social and climate justice is burgeoning. Knowing this, and that both challenges cannot be tackled in isolation, two cities paving the way are Bristol, UK, and Indianapolis, USA
“Indianapolis is already making progress. Between 2010 and 2016, the city reduced its greenhouse gas emissions from 16.4 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent (MtCO2e) to 14.6 MtCO2e, the equivalent of the annual energy use of 1,892,453 households, putting the city 11% of the way towards becoming carbon neutral. Impressive progress especially given the city’s population grew by 4% over the same period.”
