Collaborating with UK-based Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), Las Vegas and New York will be amongst 21 US cities that will have their carbon footprints measured.
“If you don’t measure these emissions, you cannot manage them,” asserted Paul Dickinson of the CDP.
All these cities have decided to separately collect GHG emissions data for their metropolitan departments like police and government buildings to review how they are doing in comparison to other cities. Once the calculations are done, the ground will be ripe for green consultants and carbon traders to jump in and minimize the footprints.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg also voiced his support for this project stating this would help them tackle the issue “with the best data”.
