Welcome to season 5 of How Could We?.
This series will be exploring cities' transformation and discussing why cities play such a key role in tackling climate change.
Our guests for this episode are Sissel Knutsen Hegdal ( / sissel-knutsen-hegdal ) , mayor of Norwegian city Stavanger and Thomas Osdoba ( / thomas-osdoba-3860b36 ) , EIT Climate-KIC Senior Cities Advisor and Director of the NetZeroCities Programme ( / netzerocitieseu ) .
In this episode, we discuss how Stavanger's actions to achieve net zero emissions provide concrete examples of municipal climate action, how the NetZeroCities Programme can serve as a model for ambitious cities worldwide and what are the best practices to foster collaboration between different levels of government and stakeholders in city climate governance.
