Climate initiatives that have an impact need to be orchestrated at the institutional level. Individual acts matter but large scale agencies create more shifts by using their policy and economic muscle to drive change.
Here in Tucson, Mayor Regina Romero spearheads 5 significant climate initiatives that are important to know about. You can explore them in detail at the Climate Action Hub of City of Tucson: climateaction.tucsonaz.gov/
1. Tucson Million Trees:
By now you have likely heard of this powerful program by Mayor Romero to plant one million trees by 2030. Get the facts at: https://climateaction.tucsonaz.gov/pages/milliontrees-tree-facts
2. Electric Vehicle Readiness:
Strategies include the interactive map of EV Charging Stations Across Tucson. More about the goals and timeline for the city government and the greater community found here: https://climateaction.tucsonaz.gov/pages/electricvehicles
3. Storm to Shade (S2S):
City of Tucson’s Green Stormwater Infrastructure program. S2S installs new Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) on public property throughout the City of Tucson and maintains new and (select) existing GSI.
