Local Power, Global Impact: How Cities and States Are Leading on Climate Solutions
As federal climate action stalls, cities and states are stepping up by advancing bold, practical solutions that reduce emissions, protect communities, and build more resilient local economies. From clean energy and transportation to climate adaptation and environmental justice, state and local leaders are proving that meaningful progress happens closest to home.
In this virtual conversation, Mayor Lauren McLean (Boise, ID), Mayor Justin Bibb (Cleveland, OH), and Mayor Eileen Higgins (Miami, FL) will share how local governments are turning climate commitments into action. The mayors will explore what’s working, where challenges remain, and how collaboration across cities and states can accelerate climate solutions nationwide and globally. Join us for a timely discussion moderated by Grist’s Jake Bittle on the policies, partnerships, and leadership shaping the future of climate action from the ground up.
This event is presented by Grist and Climate Mayors.
