Green Cities Report- How Key
Cities are Combating Climate Change
(Washington, DC)-
A new report released today called Green Cities is one of the first
assessments of exactly how 40 of the country's largest cities are
trying to limit their carbon footprints and take the steps needed to
raise these efforts to the next level. According to the survey, cities
have generally fallen short in their ability to create an equitable
green economy- one that connects low-income people and under-invested
urban communities to the economic mainstream.
