AFRY + Gapminder: Sustainable cities and communities
What share of the world's population live in mega cities? 8%, 28% or 48%?
When we recently polled the general public, 77% of people got this wrong. Even though half of the world's population live in cities, it's only a fraction that live in those mega cities with more than 10 million people.
I'm Matt Brown, Vice President of AFRY Management Consulting. I help companies in the energy sector transition, as they shift from a largely fossil based world to a renewable clean energy world.
Watch the short video to hear more from me and Anna Rosling Rönnlund of Gapminder. We discuss the public misperceptions and the implications on building cities in the future.
The UN Goals Test
When we have an accurate understanding of the world around us, we can focus on the right things to make the world a better place.
AFRY and Gapminder developed the UN Sustainable Development Goals Test to address misconceptions about the biggest challenges of our time.
