The document summarizes Manchester's efforts to reduce carbon emissions and transition to a low carbon city. It outlines that Manchester aims to reduce carbon emissions 41% by 2020 relative to 2005 levels. It highlights actions taken in buildings, energy, transport, green spaces, food, and culture to embed low carbon thinking. Examples provided include over 2,000 solar installations, 200 green buses, increased tree planting, and programs to increase carbon literacy.

Pulse Energy Webinar: Sustainability in CitiesPulse Energy
City governments are committed to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions to lead by example in their communities. Creating and following a practical sustainability plan that has significant impact is key to successfully reducing energy use.
This webinar featured Sadhu Johnston, Vancouver's Deputy City Manager, as learn about the initiatives that Vancouver is taking to become the world's greenest city by 2020. Sadhu will share with you:
* How the City reduced municipal operations' energy use by 24%
* The City's strategy for improving the energy performance of over 1,000,000 square feet of its buildings
* Specific tips on how you can implement building energy management for sustainability
Sadhu is the former Chief Environmental Officer of the City of Chicago, where he helped the City identify key sustainability issues and implemented programs that put the Chicago on the road to being one of the greenest cities in North America. As Deputy City Manager, Sadhu is leading Vancouver towards its goal of becoming the world's greenest city by 2020. Register now to reserve your spot and the opportunity to ask questions about municipal sustainability to a recognized leader in the field.

Piedmont Lithium Limited (Nasdaq: PLL) holds a 100% interest in the Piedmont Lithium Project (“Project”) located within the world-class Carolina Tin-Spodumene Belt (“TSB”) and along trend to the Hallman Beam and Kings Mountain mines, historically providing most of the western world’s lithium between the 1950s and the 1980s. The TSB has been described as one of the largest lithium provinces in the world and is located approximately 25 miles west of Charlotte, North Carolina. It is a premier location for development of an integrated lithium business based on its favorable geology, proven metallurgy and easy access to infrastructure, power, R&D centers for lithium and battery storage, major high-tech population centers and downstream lithium processing facilities. Compared to Australian- and Canadian-based projects, North Carolina offers a significantly lower-cost operating environment (labor, power/gas/diesel, transport), which is further boosted by the absence of government royalties and a low tax rate environment. Lithium is on the US Government’s Critical Minerals list, giving the project significant strategic value as being the only conventional US lithium development project.

The Mayor of London works to make London a more resilient, sustainable and resource efficient city, where businesses want to be based and where people want to live and work.
To achieve the Mayor’s vision for the environment, the GLA develops and delivers a set of results-focused programmes. These programmes also create jobs and attract investment in areas such as waste recycling, water, green infrastructure, energy and the low carbon and green economy.
RE:FIT and RE:NEW are the Mayor of London award-winning programmes to help make London homes, non-domestic buildings and assets more energy efficient by cutting carbon emissions and energy bills. These programmes support organisations to develop and bring their energy efficiency projects to market.
The Mayor’s DEPDU Successor programme – 50% funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) - is set up to support the Mayor’s target of 25 per cent of London’s energy to be generated through Decentralised Energy (DE) by 2025. The programme supports others to develop and bring their DE projects to market.

Here's a presentation I gave on 11 November to Renaissance Northwest's Curating the Future Conference, held at the People's History Museum in Manchester.
This is a presentation I gave to Renaissance Northwest - the collective for the museums, galleries and libraries across England's Northwest. The focus of the presentation was on the role the cultural sector could play in an 'experience' economy that offered an alternative 'hedonism' and how the sector could help build a more sustainable future.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
