To achieve serious carbon reductions, we will have to use a “portfolio” method, where all levels of government can get involved in areas where they have power to make regulations. Cities all over the world are leading the charge on climate reductions–here are 3 podcasts from different angles–listen to the one that aligns with your interest, or listen to them all! Discuss the following questions, bringing perspectives from any of the podcasts or your experiences:

What is the legal authority of cities to enact policies to reduce GHG emissions or adapt to climate change?
What are the practical (physical/tech/historical) reason that cities are positioned to enact policies that can create significant reductions in GHG emissions or adapt to climate change?
What are the values-based reasons for cities to enact policies that can create significant reductions in GHG emissions or adapt to climate change?
Are there any limitations to cities enacting climate policy? What are they and how can they be overcome?
