Municipal Decision-Making Processes in the Face of Climate Change

Last year we held a series of thought-provoking virtual sessions at Greentown Labs about municipalities at the frontlines of climate change. The Greentown Community got a taste of the challenges that municipalities face and the opportunities presented our endeavors. Beacon Climate working with a cohort of Tufts Students through the 180 Degree Program has taken that initiative a step further and conducted a study on municipal decision-making practices with respect to climate action and opportunities for the emerging climate-tech industry. In this session, you will hear a summary of the study, along with a set of resulting ideas and recommendations to the Greentown Labs Community and participating municipalities at 12:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, June 2, 2021. Opportunity for discussion and exchange will follow. Moneer Azzam will be presenting the findings/recommendation and the researchers will be on hand for elaboration and discussion. Lead Researcher: Matthew Oh, Economics Researcher: Anna Wang, Biology & Computer Science Researcher: Janya Gambhir, Computer Science & International Relations Researcher: Ria Agarwal, International Relations Researcher: Sara Siqueira, Cognitive Brain Science Researcher: Sofia Chon, Economics Researcher: Zach Singer, Quantitative Economics & Environmenture their spot is saved.
