Saving Energy & Saving Money: The Economic Benefits of Local Climate Action.

In July, local government leaders and practitioners from across the U.S.A. will come together to take action and share strategies on realizing economic benefits through climate protection actions.  Interest in saving energy, saving money, and taking action to combat the growing threat of climate change is increasing across the U.S.A. amongst local governments, businesses, and the public. 

Participants to this workshop, co-hosted by ICLEI and the City of Fayetteville, will receive practical training on the latest implementation and policy tools, and will exchange new ideas and best practices with peer government leaders to advance climate protection and realize cost savings, job creation, and additional local benefits. 

Featured topics will include local economic development through climate protection, job creation, cost-effective transportation planning and green building construction, improving infrastructure to ensure climate resilience, and developing effective climate protection policies.
