Cities Climate Summit II: A model for success!

Saturday, May 11, 2019. Sign-in 9:00 am;  Program 9:30 am – 12:15 pm

Mercer Island Community Center, 8236 SE 24th St, Mercer Island, WA 98040

There are already over 150 registered participants! Our team of student Ambassadors is inviting peers, parents, teachers and, most importantly, our respective city staff and city council members to attend, learn, and take collective action. We can do this!  RSVP today as we will probably fill the room to capacity within the next week.

Learn how Portland reduced their greenhouse gas emissions while their population grew. They created a detailed Climate Action Plan: our cities can too.

Come hear inspiring climate planner Susan Anderson describe how the City of Portland and Multnomah County brought greenhouse gas reductions from goal to reality. Portland has developed a range of specific, targeted, measurable actions that we can all learn from, adapt and apply to our cities. Cities are important, because they account for 70% of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. Our local cities have set goals in the King County-Cities Climate Collaboration (K4C).

But we aren’t meeting those goals….

How can we—young people, residents, county and city staff, and council members—learn from Portland’s work in climate action planning? Come and find out! People for Climate Action members organized and paid for this event. Sustainability Ambassadors and many other climate-focused groups are helping promote it. Thank you!
