ABOUT THE EVENT
Cities are responsible for 70% of global emissions and 65% of global energy demand. In 2030, cities will account for more than three quarters of electricity use. How can we leverage technology to accelerate our cities into being zero carbon – transforming us from climate-culprits to climate solvers?
As urban residents, our carbon footprint is largely determined by our city’s building infrastructure, transportation options and food systems. FASTRACK explores technology's role in making significant changes at a wider, faster scale for a zero carbon city.
Join us for an afternoon of discussions where we will be talking about current and upcoming technologies that pave the way for zero emission buildings, green mobility and sustainable food systems.
Plus, enjoy an exhibition of innovative startups, earth-friendly products and services, and great networking after!
