Air Monitoring
Carbon emissions project launched to improve urban air quality
Nov 02 2010
The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) has released its Cities programme today (November 2nd 2010), together with the C40 and Clinton Climate Initiative.
It is aimed at encouraging some of the biggest urban areas in the world to commit to reducing their carbon emission levels by reporting to the CDP.
Among the cities that have voluntarily agreed to reveal their air quality statistics are London, New York and Toronto.
Mayor of Toronto and chair of C40 David Miller said: "Cities play an essential and leading role in accelerating solutions to climate change and C40 cities are already making a massive impact."
He added that this programme will enable the member cities to track their progress by sharing the data with each other.
Next month, the Monitoring Ambient Air 2010: New Air Quality Measurement Technologies event will take place in London, which will see European countries meet with environmental experts to discuss measurements to take in order to improve the air quality of their cities.
