Cities on the Frontlines of Energy Transition: Power, Pitfalls & Promise

Cities generate most of the world’s emissions - but they are also where many of the most innovative climate solutions are emerging. Drawing on her experience as Mayor of Oakland and her work with global networks of climate mayors, Libby Schaaf will discuss how cities shape energy demand through land use, buildings, and transportation, and why urban leadership is essential to a just energy transition and global sustainability. The talk will explore both the opportunities and the challenges cities face as they translate climate goals into real infrastructure and community change.

Speaker: Libby Schaff, former Mayor, City of Oakland
