As one of the highest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, cities are key to combating global warming. In high latitude cities like Edmonton Alberta, household energy emissions exceed those of lower latitude cities. What factors are contributing to household GHG emissions in high latitude cities? How do we address these emissions in order to combat climate change? Join the University of Alberta’s Sandeep Agrawal, Nilusha Welegedara and Amit Kumar to discuss high latitude neighbourhood GHG contributors and solutions, followed by a Q and A.
