On April 7, Sustainability Director Mina Hasman will join a webinar hosted by the City CDR Initiative, bringing together leading voices from local governments, industry, and research to explore the evolving role of carbon dioxide removal in cities.

As part of the conversation, “How to Build Carbon Sink Cities,” Hasman will join fellow experts to discuss how cities can become powerful drivers of climate restoration, leveraging carbon sinks and removal strategies to address pressing social and ecological challenges. She will also discuss SOM’s Urban Sequoia—a research-based proposition that envisions a new carbon removal economy and a more resilient future for cities.

The webinar builds on a special event hosted at SOM’s New York studio during Climate Week NYC last year, which explored the concept of carbon sink cities—positioning urban environments not only as places to live and work, but as active agents of carbon removal, resilience, and climate innovation.
