Similar Stories to Boulder City Council On Board For More Aggressive Climate Approach on Bing News

In light of the urgency of climate change, Boulder City Council is on board with city staff’s plans to adopt more aggressive climate goals and targets and to shift the way the city thinks about its overall approach. In addition to adjusting its goals, Boulder is arguing that the city must put equity and resilience at the center of the work, while also considering the other dynamics that work to hold the causal factors of climate change in place. Energy systems, materials consumption and ecosystems — all causal factors of climate change — are influenced and shaped by larger forces, including the markets, policy, knowledge and technology, and norms and culture, Senior Sustainability and Resilience Policy Advisor Brett KenCairn said in a Boulder City Council study session on Tuesday. Given that data from City Scale indicates 8% of local governments in the United States have joined a climate program, it’s an important change in thinking, staff said. “Cities can’t do this alone, and the success of a few cities isn’t enough,” Senior Energy Project Manager Yael Gichon said. The city is continuing to determine how best to disrupt some of the systems at play in order to force change on a larger scale.
