Mayors are at the forefront of climate action, uniquely positioned to turn bold policies into real-world solutions that reduce pollution and build healthy, sustainable communities. That’s why ICLEI USA and EDF are partnering to launch a dynamic Climate Action Training Program for the African American Mayors Association—providing mayors with the tools, strategies, and technical expertise needed to craft science-based Climate Action Plans and drive transformative change in their cities.
This program, designed for cities in the formative stages of climate action, will focus on:
- Setting a clear vision and process for climate planning
- Developing emissions reduction targets and implementation roadmaps
- Navigating funding and financing strategies
- Aligning political leadership with technical action
What You’ll Gain
By the conclusion of the training, participating mayors will:
- Demonstrate Leadership by making a public commitment to reducing pollution and advancing the health and sustainability of their community.
- Establish a Strategic Path Forward with a clearly defined set of actions and next steps, tailored to the unique needs and priorities of their community.
- Strengthen Capacity and Confidence to effectively lead and support climate and sustainability initiatives.
