The C40 Zero Emission Area workshop and peer exchange brought together Latin American signatory and potential signatory cities to support the delivery of commitments made in the Fossil Fuel Free Streets Declaration. The declaration specifies city commitments to procure, with partners, only zero emission buses from 2025; and ensure a major area of the city is zero emissions by 2030. Workshop participants represented the cities of Lima, Medellin, Mexico City, Quito, Santiago and Rio de Janeiro and shared experiences with a primary focus on how to take forward plans for establishing zero-emission areas.
Workshop objectives:
● Discuss challenges and strategies for overcoming barriers in the creation of zero emission areas.
● Identify city needs and resources for implementing.
● Learn new approaches and good practices.
● Create a detailed plan for the actions needed to implement a zero-emission area.
