Founded in 2007 as a subgroup of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the Mayors Climate Protection Center is dedicated to providing mayors with “the guidance and support they need to guide their cities` efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with climate change.” [1] This session will show how multi-stakeholder alliances are driving collaboration and commitment to an immediate green recovery and long-term climate action.
