SUMMARY:FACTS Los Angeles: Climate Ready Cities - Taking actions to mitigate climate change and adapt in urban areas
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nFACTS (French Ameri-Can Climate TalkS) \nBuilding up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference to be hosted by France in December 2015 (COP 21-Paris Climate 2015)\, the Embassies of France in both Canada and the United States are organizing FACTS (French Ameri-Can Climate TalkS)\, a public conference series across seven cities in the US and in Canada involving renowned scientists\, civil society representatives\, NGOs\, political figures\, journalists and entrepreneurs. \nKey speakers from both the US and France will be discussing the role of urban centers in regard to climate change policies: from the changing risks they have to face to the new opportunities they can benefit from. \nClimate Ready Cities \nTaking actions to mitigate climate change and adapt in urban areas \nIn partnership with the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and the Los Angeles Regional Collaborative (LARC) for Climate Action and Sustainability\, the Embassy of France in the United States and the Consulate General of France in Los Angeles will organize a conference to discuss the challenges climate change represents for cities around the world. \nWith more than half of humanity living in cities\, urban centers are key actors for climate change. Climate change represents a major threat for many cities that will have to face a range of impacts from the consequences of the changing climate (sea level rise\, increased frequency of extreme weather events\, heat waves\, etc.). However\, the threats brought by climate change can also represent an opportunity and many cities are already taking action to become climate resilient by both decreasing their emissions and by preparing to mitigate the future impacts of climate change. \n \nMore information at: http://facts.france-science.org/program/#losangeles \nSponsored by:
