?? Why is city-led climate action falling short? Join us on 19 March to explore solutions!

Hello Friend,

Now more than ever, cities play a critical role in the fight against climate change. But the truth is, municipal action is falling short. Political and institutional constraints are keeping decision-makers from taking the bold steps needed to confront the climate crisis head-on. Too often, cities are tinkering at the edges instead of pursuing the systemic transformation required for real impact.

Join us on 19 March from 3:00 to 4:15 pm CET / 10:00 to 11:15 am ET for a virtual discussion about what’s holding cities back and how we can move forward. This event builds on our Unlocking Urban Climate Transitions report, challenging us to rethink our approach to climate action.

What to Expect?

?? Key insights from our report—exploring the hidden forces preventing ambitious action.

?? A dynamic, expert panel discussing the new institutions, alliances, and capabilities needed for transformation. Our distinguished panelists will include Ann Florini (Fellow, Political Reform Program, New America), Gy?rgyi Gálik (City Transitions Co-Lead, Dark Matter Labs), and Carl Mossfeldt (CEO, Rework, and the report’s primary author).

??? Lively debate on how cities, governments, businesses, and funders can break free from the status quo.

Who Should Attend?

Municipal leaders, civil servants, climate practitioners, community organisers, funders, and anyone passionate about accelerating systemic climate action. Whether you work in government, civil society, business, or philanthropy, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Save your spot and be part of the conversation.

Best wishes,

Josh Sorin
