The Role of Municipalities
in the Fight Against Climate Change

As the nation and the world become more environmentally conscious, cities from around the globe have taken it upon themselves to combat the issue of climate change through specific legal and community actions. This Symposium will explore those efforts, including: local and municipal green development standards and their efficacies, the struggles between local efforts and state and federal law, and the continuing vitality and success of multi-level governance in addressing climate change on the local level.
