ZEROCARBONCITY

Welcome to the ZeroCarbonCity site, part of our global campaign around climate change, and the environmental impact of city living and urban industry. Here you'll find information on the campaign that will be touring 70 countries with an exhibition and a series of interactive events (for all ages and interests), as well as links to teaching resources, articles, and debate.

The last two years have been a fantastic success with the NorthSouthEastWest exhibition on display in many high profile locations. We are looking forward to running many more activities across the globe in 2007 and hope that you will get involved with our ZeroCarbonCity campaign.
