What We Do
City Scale explores and expands the roles that local governments can play on climate change. We focus on understanding how local government climate work got where it is today and helping to shape where it might go next. We take a step back and make sense of a bigger picture to think expansively about what is possible, contribute to new insights, and identify breakthrough opportunities.
