Join Jeb Brugmann, author of, “Welcome to the Urban Revolution”
What are the best sustainability practices from across the globe? What makes them successful? What is the evidence that sustainable cities are more resilient? Join Jeb Brugmann, ICLEI founder and holder of the Millennium Award and the Stockholm Partnerships Award for his international contribution to international urban sustainability in this educational thought provoking webinar. Jeb’s new book “Welcome to the Urban Revolution” demonstrates how we can transform cities into more productive, equitable, and sustainable places. He will be joined by Mindy Lubber President of Ceres, which leads a national coalition of investors, environmental organizations and other public interest groups working with companies to address sustainability challenges such as global climate change and water scarcity.
The panel will include government and industrial leaders providing examples of successful infrastructure and capacity building investments that are meeting the dual goals of sustainability and economic vitality.
