The latest report from the Alliance for a Sustainable Future – a joint effort of C2ES and The U.S. Conference of Mayors to help cities and businesses collaborate on sustainable development— highlights city-oriented case studies that advance climate resilience. One of the goals of the Alliance is to inform mayors, local officials, and business leaders of innovative new strategies that could present an opportunity for their own communities to reach their climate goals.
The following case studies showcase the variety of resilience spaces and hubs that are emerging in communities around the country and the role of local governments. They feature the following:
1. The Vicars Community Center: Equity Centered Community Resilience (Atlanta, GA)
2. The Warehouse: Building Climate: Resilience through Youth Empowerment and Well-being (Wilmington, DE)
3. Resilient Fire Stations: Protecting and Preparing Critical Infrastructure Facilities with Microgrids (Fremont, CA)
4. Central Park Recreation Center: Energy Resilience for Recreation Centers (Denver, CO)
