Arup has announced a renewal of its partnership with C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40) to affect meaningful, measurable and sustainable action on climate change.
Led by its ambition to shape a better world, Arup will back cities to rapidly reduce emissions to prevent catastrophic climate change. Together, Arup and C40 will work with city mayors on programmes to improve energy efficiency, reduce waste and encourage a move towards a more circular economy.
Arup is trebling its previous commitment by pledging $3 million of advisory support to C40 over three years. The partnership will build on innovative projects such as Deadline 2020 – a new approach to climate action planning for C40 member cities. Together, Arup and C40 will explore how consumption patterns in cities need to change and how data can support decision making and the monitoring of progress against climate action plans.
