Carbon Management Journal has a new Special Issue: Entitled Pathways toward Low-Carbon Cities: a US–China Focus the special issue has been published in August 2011.

"Carbon Governance in Asia: Bridging Scales and Disciplines" Media Communication: Based on the international workshop with the same title (visit workshop website), an article co-authored by Shobhakar Dhakal (GCP), Ruben Zondervan (ESG) and Jose Antonio Puppim de Oliveira (UNU) was published in the Our World 2.0 web magazine. The piece is calling for a minimum governance structure to manage carbon emissions and for Asia to take a lead role in creating sustainability solutions.

GCP, IIASA, PIK and NIES International Workshop in Viena: GCP together with its collaborators has organized an international workshop on the topic "Urban Energy and Carbon Modeling in a Rapidly Urbanizing World" during March 10 - 11, 2011.
