WBEF: City-Level Support for Climate-Positive Cities with C40 Cities’ Frankie Downy #104
Show Notes

Local government support for energy efficient buildings is essential to creating the climate-friendly cities of the future, a vision supported by C40 Cities.

Frankie Downy joins Stephen Lorimer (Centre for Net Zero) on this WBEF episode of The RICS Podcast to discuss how cities can manage the transition towards more energy efficient models at a local level.

This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:

  • How different cities in C40 are evaluating the best policies to put in place for their existing buildings
  • The split of government dependence vs self-guidance for these policies
  • How data is being captured to check actual consumption against what’s modelled beforehand
  • The stages that take a city to its climate-positive vision of 2040
