But Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto highlighted an innovative \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/11/12/563276003/pittsburghs-microgrids-technology-could-lead-the-way-for-green-energy\">“microgrid” technology initiative\u003c/a>, which would keep energy that’s sourced locally – including from solar and wind sources to be deployed in city limits – within the city, making the energy itself more sustainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Energy companies are partnering with city because it’s about the future,” said Peduto.

In Paris, there are 2,500 preventable deaths a year from the scourge of tailpipe pollution from cars, particularly diesel. Paris has pledged to ban diesel cars from city limits by 2025 and has since announced it will phase out all but electric cars by 2030. Los Angeles has pledged to phase out all but electric cars by 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As elected leaders, we know how hard is it to convince stakeholders that acting on climate is a top priority,” said Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, who has gotten some pushback from Parisians about controversial street closures she has pushed through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cars are essential in Dubai, so banning them is out of the question. But Abdulla Al Basti, Secretary General of the Executive Council of Dubai, told the audience that by 2030, 25 percent of those cars (and buses) will be 100 percent autonomous and electric. The Dubai Autonomous Transportation Strategy is projected to reduce the city’s transportation costs by 44 percent, including the need for parking spaces. It should reduce accidents, and reduce overall air pollution by 12 percent, said Al Basti.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Bicycles \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco got schooled by the mayors of Copenhagen and Seville. Copenhagen, of course, is a bicycle mecca. It has more than 220 miles of separated bike lanes, and they have a reputation for safety – which is why you see parents transporting their kids to school, not to mention professionals and retirees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it took two decades to transform the thinking around biking to work in that city. And $18 million in the last decade alone, according to Mayor Frank Jensen of Copenhagen. “It starts when you’re a kid. Your parents bike with you to school and it’s a lifestyle you continue to adopt,” he said. He city has moved on to a new phase and is partnering with the suburban cities that surround it to build a series of “superhighways” around the city center, to ease commute congestion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An interesting factoid emerged regarding gender and city cycling. Debbie Raphael, Director of the San Francisco Department of the Environment, revealed that women make up only 25 percent of all cyclists in San Francisco and speculated that safety concerns might be part of the problem. Copenhagen has gender parity in its cycling population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seville has gradually built up its network of bicycle lanes since 2007 and is becoming \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/jan/28/seville-cycling-capital-southern-europe-bike-lanes\">known\u003c/a> for them. Mayor Juan Espadas Sejas said they have even become a tourist attraction. And 35 percent of Seville’s everyday cyclists are women, to San Francisco’s 25 percent. “The automobile lane needs to be totally separated from the bike lane,” he explained. “It’s fundamental that we begin reducing the space for cars and their speeds, to lower the contamination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Buildings\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a new buzzword when it comes to buildings: decarbonization. It means that buildings are no longer a net producer of CO2, and the city of Vancouver has a goal to decarbonize its entire building stock (including housing) by 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue of affordable housing is a real challenge when buildings have fancy design elements that can help with sustainability but drive up cost, said Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. “It’s the question of, ‘We just need to build anything so people have places to live’… versus, ‘We invest in the most energy efficient housing we can.’” In reality, though, “the capital at the front end is more than offset by the savings,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has set itself a goal to decarbonize all its new buildings by 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mayor of Hong Kong, Wong Kam-sing, described how his city has been able to drastically reduce the carbon footprint of its ultra-dense housing. For one thing, only a third of Hong Kong’s land mass is urbanized. Seventy percent of Hong Kong is comprised of rural land and country parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Half of Hong Kong’s population of seven million resides in government-owned housing. And the city’s public housing department requires all buildings to commit to an LEED-certified gold standard or higher. “We have one of the most livable cities in the world,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1931270\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1931270\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-1020x1020.jpg\" alt=\"A man stands a podium.\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-160x160.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-800x800.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-768x768.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-1920x1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-960x960.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-240x240.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-375x375.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-520x520.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Al Gore addresses the audience at the Cities4Climate event in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Julia Scott)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Final Word: Al Gore \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If San Francisco were to follow Paris’s lead and ban all but electric cars, that would be a huge help.

But Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto highlighted an innovative \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/11/12/563276003/pittsburghs-microgrids-technology-could-lead-the-way-for-green-energy\">“microgrid” technology initiative\u003c/a>, which would keep energy that’s sourced locally – including from solar and wind sources to be deployed in city limits – within the city, making the energy itself more sustainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Energy companies are partnering with city because it’s about the future,” said Peduto.

In Paris, there are 2,500 preventable deaths a year from the scourge of tailpipe pollution from cars, particularly diesel. Paris has pledged to ban diesel cars from city limits by 2025 and has since announced it will phase out all but electric cars by 2030. Los Angeles has pledged to phase out all but electric cars by 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As elected leaders, we know how hard is it to convince stakeholders that acting on climate is a top priority,” said Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, who has gotten some pushback from Parisians about controversial street closures she has pushed through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cars are essential in Dubai, so banning them is out of the question. But Abdulla Al Basti, Secretary General of the Executive Council of Dubai, told the audience that by 2030, 25 percent of those cars (and buses) will be 100 percent autonomous and electric. The Dubai Autonomous Transportation Strategy is projected to reduce the city’s transportation costs by 44 percent, including the need for parking spaces. It should reduce accidents, and reduce overall air pollution by 12 percent, said Al Basti.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Bicycles \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco got schooled by the mayors of Copenhagen and Seville. Copenhagen, of course, is a bicycle mecca. It has more than 220 miles of separated bike lanes, and they have a reputation for safety – which is why you see parents transporting their kids to school, not to mention professionals and retirees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it took two decades to transform the thinking around biking to work in that city. And $18 million in the last decade alone, according to Mayor Frank Jensen of Copenhagen. “It starts when you’re a kid. Your parents bike with you to school and it’s a lifestyle you continue to adopt,” he said. He city has moved on to a new phase and is partnering with the suburban cities that surround it to build a series of “superhighways” around the city center, to ease commute congestion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An interesting factoid emerged regarding gender and city cycling. Debbie Raphael, Director of the San Francisco Department of the Environment, revealed that women make up only 25 percent of all cyclists in San Francisco and speculated that safety concerns might be part of the problem. Copenhagen has gender parity in its cycling population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seville has gradually built up its network of bicycle lanes since 2007 and is becoming \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/jan/28/seville-cycling-capital-southern-europe-bike-lanes\">known\u003c/a> for them. Mayor Juan Espadas Sejas said they have even become a tourist attraction. And 35 percent of Seville’s everyday cyclists are women, to San Francisco’s 25 percent. “The automobile lane needs to be totally separated from the bike lane,” he explained. “It’s fundamental that we begin reducing the space for cars and their speeds, to lower the contamination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Buildings\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a new buzzword when it comes to buildings: decarbonization. It means that buildings are no longer a net producer of CO2, and the city of Vancouver has a goal to decarbonize its entire building stock (including housing) by 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue of affordable housing is a real challenge when buildings have fancy design elements that can help with sustainability but drive up cost, said Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. “It’s the question of, ‘We just need to build anything so people have places to live’… versus, ‘We invest in the most energy efficient housing we can.’” In reality, though, “the capital at the front end is more than offset by the savings,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has set itself a goal to decarbonize all its new buildings by 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mayor of Hong Kong, Wong Kam-sing, described how his city has been able to drastically reduce the carbon footprint of its ultra-dense housing. For one thing, only a third of Hong Kong’s land mass is urbanized. Seventy percent of Hong Kong is comprised of rural land and country parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Half of Hong Kong’s population of seven million resides in government-owned housing. And the city’s public housing department requires all buildings to commit to an LEED-certified gold standard or higher. “We have one of the most livable cities in the world,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1931270\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1931270\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-1020x1020.jpg\" alt=\"A man stands a podium.\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-160x160.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-800x800.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-768x768.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-1920x1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-960x960.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-240x240.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-375x375.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-520x520.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/09/IMG_9075-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Al Gore addresses the audience at the Cities4Climate event in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Julia Scott)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Final Word: Al Gore \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If San Francisco were to follow Paris’s lead and ban all but electric cars, that would be a huge help.
