Climate of Hope: How Cities, Businesses, and Citizens Can Save the Planet
Carl Pope, Inside Straight Strategies

Former chairman of the Sierra Club and co-author of the new book, Climate of Hope, Carl Pope will present an evening of environmental insights and inspiration. Climate of Hope, a collaborative effort between Pope and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, elicits hope and motivation regarding the power of cities, and the major role they play in our nation’s fight against climate change. Pope is now the principal advisor at Inside Straight Strategies, focusing on the links between sustainability and economic development, and serves as a senior climate advisor to Bloomberg.
