Accelerating climate action in US cities (WP1)

Climate change is the largest and most complex challenge of our time, and will require the collaborative engagement of all sectors, as well as innovative thinking and strategic decision making, to better prepare cities. During this workshop, you’ll hear from three cities - Portland, Seattle, and Cincinnati - about their climate emergency response plans, which detail what is required to respond to the climate emergency over the coming years, with an emphasis on mode shift. The workshop will provide tools to cities of all sizes and resources to begin addressing the biggest barriers to climate action - funding, culture, and politics.
