In a segment presented by 3M, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer Gayle Schueller will explore how people and science can come together to reimagine how we can solve climate change at scale. Climate change remains among the greatest challenges globally. According to new 3M research, 93% of people around the world are concerned about the consequences of climate change, and 72% are more concerned about climate change today than they were one year ago. It’s no secret we must act with urgency to address this global concern, and cities are on the front lines in mitigating and adapting to climate change. The myriad of solutions and approaches can seem overwhelming, but one of the greatest opportunities lies in embedding sustainable innovation into the very fabric of our urban infrastructure and systems – from buildings to transportation to energy used to power our cities.
