Cities As Green Leaders™

Turning Climate Knowledge Into Climate Action (PICS)

Launched in Edmonton and debuted at the 2013/May national Scientific Congress held jointly with CMOS, CGU and CWRA in Saskatoon, this Community Response Marketing™ Program has been built to roll out nationally and globally through scientists’ premium green networks, using municipal governments and education systems as entry points in their communities.

CGL Featured in October 2013 CMOS Bulletin

Intro (page 4) - Featured Story (pages 23-27) - Full Bulletin (44 pages)

Over a period of two months, April through May, students learned the complexities of climate change and the green goals and strategic plans of their City. Mid-May, students came together in a one day Virtual Town Hall to address key questions about climate change. Data was collected, synthesized into a survey to reflect students’ priorities and, a subsequent Writing Retreat produced Cities As Green Leaders™: A White Paper by Edmonton's Youth.

Youth Care
