CityInSight Energy, Emissions & Finance model: Yuill Herbert & Marcus Williams review the SSG model launched at COP21, Paris

January 4, 2016/in Energy & Emissions Modelling and Planning, Frontpage Article, Public Engagement, Team, Webinar /by SSG

A very happy New Year to all of you.

To kickstart 2016, we held a webinar with Yuill from SSG and Marcus from WhatIf Technologies who update us with the launch of CityInSight at COP21 Paris. For those who haven’t been following the development of the model we’ll share the design and application of its use too.

SSG has partnered with whatIf? Technologies, an international leader in simulation modelling, to increase the sophistication, scope and capabilities of GHGProof in a new model – CityInSight. CityInSight also incorporates the Global GHG Protocol for Cities, a GHG accounting framework launched as the new global standard by the World Resources Institute, ICLEI, C40, UN Habitat and others at the UN Conference of the Parties in Lima in 2014.

“I will if you will”: The structure of the UN Climate Talks needs to be redesigned

The science of cooperation is being ignored in favour of self interest, say University of Cambridge, UK, University of Maryland, U.S, and University of Cologne. Having individual commitments rather that agreed standards, such as setting an agreed global price for carbon, favours a more chaotic and unaccountable structure. Through the nature of peer pressure, states are more likely to aim higher and commit of the onus as shared.

Solutions Agenda

A two year research project launched in 2012 to explore challenges in creating sustainable communities is complete. Undertaken by Royal Roads University’s Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Community Development and SSG, The Solutions Agenda explores eight key issues impacting Canadian communities: food security, multi-functional spaces, energy security, the cooperative movement, rural revitalization, mental health, the future of work, and waste. The project engaged the research team and dozens of leading innovators in virtual e-Dialogues. All participants convened in early 2015 in a peer-to-peer learning exchange to draft the Agenda.
