http://www.unece.org//press/pr2009/09env_p18e.htm
What do the Empire State Building and the Oxford Eco-House have in common? What similar policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are being implemented in Frankfurt and Lausanne? How are private sector companies contributing to making buildings more energy efficient? How does a "passive house" work? These and other questions will be answered during a seminar on "Climate Neutral Cities" to be organized at the Palais des Nations, Geneva, on 23 September 2009 in order to focus on how urban planning and building can contribute to reducing GHG and enhance the overall sustainability of a city.[Wedneday, 21 July 2009]
