    Cities are responsible for 75% of global CO2 emissions, with transportation and buildings among the largest contributors. Mayors are implementing a range of place-based, community-driven solutions to combat the climate crisis. They are also engaged in national efforts, like Climate Mayors and LEED for Cities certification, that connect them to networks of leaders taking those solutions to scale. We will explore the key policies and innovative approaches each city leader is taking to accelerate progress in their respective cities as well as around the country. Kate Wright, executive director of Climate Mayors, will moderate this Expert Series event.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Hear from cities engaged in LEED for Cities how they are advancing equitable, ambitious solutions to city-wide decarbonization.
    • Explore how mayors are organizing across the country through organizations like Climate Mayors to accelerate progress and amplify the impact of local solutions.
    • Increase knowledge about the regulatory approaches and policy levers affecting local level progress on decarbonization.
    • Understand how stakeholders at the local, state, regional, and national level are collaborating on solutions to the climate crisis.
