The Vancouver region is famous for the power of our environmentalism and quality of life.

Now we’re positioned to show the world how to decarbonize our cities - even amid rapid growth - through new technology, advanced materials and high quality urban design. 

This is a critical task, because cities account for more than 70 percent of the world’s carbon emissions.  Cities are where climate action will succeed, or fail. 

And it’s a massive opportunity. The entire physical infrastructure of cities is being reinvented and decarbonized to be more sustainable and more digital, right now. All that is happening while our cities are adding record numbers of people and investing in housing and transportation systems for them to live and move around.

This is the most transformative period in the history of cities. 

Join us in February 2024 to meet the leaders from across the Cascadia region - and beyond - who are seizing the opportunity to decarbonize our cities and create a Net Zero future.
