Chris is a long-time resident of Korea and an advocate for sustainable, livable cities. At CityNet, he manages the Urban SDG Knowledge Platform, which is a joint project between CityNet, ESCAP, and Seoul Metropolitan Government. The platform contains a policy repository of over 550 innovative urban practice case studies and encourages replication and SDG implementation through its SDG Localization Toolkit and SDG Navigator Tool. Through the platform, he also organizes the annual SDG City Awards to recognize cities that are implementing highly replicable practices to localize the SDGs in urban centers. Recently, Chris has been working to promote zero waste policies in CityNet’s wide network of local governments and is interested to collect best practices of Asian cities in sustainable waste management to support the work that CityNet Secretary General Mr. Vijay Jagannathan is doing as a member of the UN Secretary General Advisory Board of Eminent Persons on Zero Waste.
