Tune in to Climate Conversations: A Three-part Webinar Series

How is Boulder addressing the climate crisis? What does a climate resilient future look like? Answering these big-picture questions requires ongoing conversations between the City of Boulder and the people it serves.

To this end, the city is hosting three virtual information sessions this summer, each with the goal of deepening the community’s familiarity with city climate work and inspiring collective action. Sessions will be led by staff from the city’s Climate Initiatives Department and will feature stories from the broader community.

“Planning for a climate resilient future requires tackling challenges and creating solutions in an integrated, inclusive and forward-looking manner,” said Interim Director of Climate Initiatives Jonathan Koehn. “As the dire warnings from climate science grow more severe, the City of Boulder is committed to a new chapter of climate planning. These sessions will focus on how the city is working to redesign systems at the root of climate change.”

The series will explore three key areas of local climate work: renewable and resilient energy systems, circular economy and nature-based climate solutions. Attendees will learn about the city’s climate initiatives, programs, partnerships and ways to get involved in climate action.

Renewable and Resilient Energy Systems – June 29, 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Learn how the city is working to electrify Boulder's buildings and vehicles, grow local renewable energy generation, and improve energy access and affordability.

Circular Economy – July 18, 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Learn more about the city’s efforts to build a circular economy, one that reuses, repairs and recirculates existing products and materials as much as possible.

Nature-Based Climate Solutions – Aug. 22, 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Learn about Cool Boulder, a community-wide effort to cool our city, foster biodiversity and absorb carbon through nature-based climate solutions, namely connected canopies, pollinator gardens and absorbent landscapes.
