Low Carbon City, is a citizen led- initiative that promotes a social mobilization for the collective construction of Low Carbon Cities through awareness and communication strategies, training, and promoting urban innovations in different sectors such as energy, transport, construction, industry, biodiversity, waste, technology and innovation, among others. Within the initiative we promote tools that generate citizen ownership, participation, and cooperation between the public and private sectors. Our objective is: We are all part of the solution!

What do we want to achieve ?
 

• Place the issue on the public agenda as an alternative to tackle climate change from a local and multi-stakeholder perspective that allows different sectors and actors to contribute to building low carbon societies. 
• Discuss and build a roadmap for Low Carbon Cities including tools, academic evidence, scalable projects, and a network of stakeholders willing to work on the issue.
• Identify and promote sectoral and current initiatives to expand to other cities.
• Share ideas and best practices that transcend geography, gender, culture, and social or professional backgrounds. We are all citizens that have a stake in building the Low Carbon City of the future! 
• Connect citizens across the globe to identify participatory urban strategies. We are all a part of the solution!

A Global Citizen-led Forum on Low Carbon Cities 

This year, right before Habitat III we held the first Low Carbon City Forum led by citizens. in Medellín. 

For this first version in Medellín, Colombia – from 10-12 October 2016 – we got together more than 3,000 citizens, politicians, academics, urban leaders and change-makers from 33 countries. This event tackled climate change from a localized and citizen- driven approach. As a result a citizen declaration was signed here
Before the Forum various activities were organized in 81 ambassador cities.

Next year the Forum will be in Mexico.
