Tucson will host a Spotlight Conversation on Climate Action

Tucson will host a Spotlight Conversation on Climate Action as part
of an elite group of 10 communities that were selected by ICLEI-Local
Governments for Sustainability to be highlighted nationally. This event
is part of the National Conversation on Climate Action
(www.climateconversation.org ( http://www.climateconversation.org/)), a series of local-level community engagement events taking place
nationwide on Earth Day, April 22, 2009. Registration is now open for
the Spotlight Conversation at www.tucsonaz.gov/ocsd/climateaction.

The Tucson event is hosted in partnership by the City of Tucson, Pima
County, and The University of Arizona. The organizers??™ goals are to
educate the community about the challenges of climate change in southern
Arizona, and to discuss the community??™s values, perceptions, and
priorities regarding climate change mitigation and adaptation.

The input received from the community at the Conversation on Climate
Action will contribute to the development of the City's Climate Change
Mitigation and Adaptation Plan and the City??™s General Plan update.
Community recommendations that grow out of the event will also help
inform the County??™s Comprehensive Plan Update and the University's
President's Climate Commitment Plan.

The Tucson Community Conversation on Climate Action will feature
presentations from local experts followed by Climate Change discussion
groups focusing on Human Health and Food Security, Drought Preparedness,
Affordable Housing, Mobility, Jobs and Economy.
