Small Cities, Big Climate: Lessons from the Frontline of Local Climate Action

​Small cities are proving that you don't need a massive budget or a large team to take meaningful climate action. This session takes an honest look at what small cities face when tackling climate planning: navigating limited resources, building community buy-in, choosing the right tools, and staying the course when momentum stalls.

​Join the Cities of Takoma Park, Gaithersburg, and Bowie for a conversation where we'll share what we've learned, where we've stumbled, and what's giving us hope for what's ahead.

​Come ready to learn about climate action planning and implementation at the local level — and to discover ways to get involved as a resident, connect with likeminded community members, and help shape what comes next.

​The evening kicks off with each city sharing their climate journey at 6:30 pm, followed by an open panel discussion at 7:00 pm, and wraps up with a networking session until 8:30 pm.

​Busboys and Poets at the Takoma location will be offering Happy Hour from 5:30 to 6:30 pm — come early for great bites and drinks before the program begins!
