Yesterday, at the Microsoft Government Leaders Forum, (former) President Bill Clinton launched the Microsoft & Clinton Climate Initiative joint effort, Project 2°, to save the cities of the world from ravages of climate change. Microsoft have developed a tool to help city Administrators assemble an inventory of their CO2 emissions and model planning scenarios to reduce impact. The idea is to roll this out to the 40 city administrations world wide already cooperating with the Clinton Climate Initiative. The tool has been on the go since the latter half of last year and yesterday’s event was created for the purposes of a press launch and to mark the release of a demo site for the tool which you can view here. Of the forty cities associated with the Clinton Climate Initiative four have signed up to use the Microsoft gratis offer: Syndey, Chicago, Houston and Rotterdam.
