Six Bold Climate Ideas for Chicago's Future — A Digital Panel from M. Harris & Kern and World Business Chicago

​Climate change poses Chicago's next great city-building challenge. So what if we ...

• ​Turned vacant lots into hundreds of acres of solar-powered greenhouses?

• ​Found a way to reuse 75% of what we currently discard?

• ​Created a citywide system of mini-forests?

• ​Harnessed Lake Michigan for hydropower?

​To celebrate Chicago Climate Week, we’re bringing together the dreamers and planners behind some of the most compelling climate ideas submitted to World Business Chicago’s Horizon Lines: Visions for Chicago 2050. We’ll discuss why they matter, how they can become reality and what they reveal about how we can build a stronger, healthier and more equitable city.
