Let’s Talk Climate will host Mayor Ted Wheeler in a Climate Action Town Hall. Climate stability and preparedness were key topics during the 2016 election campaign and Portland citizens elected a mayor who has made climate action a top priority. Portland’s Climate Action Plan calls for significant commitment from many of the city bureaus in order to prepare for the inevitable impacts of climate change. Hotter summers, more flooding, new levels of uncertainty – these are some of the predictions for the coming decades in Portland. This town hall offers an opportunity to hear from city officials as they consider climate action steps in the immediate future. How will the bureaus meet these new goals? How will the mayor set priorities? How can citizens contribute to help mitigate climate impacts? The mayor will speak briefly, followed by comments by senior staff, with plenty of time for questions and answers in a town hall format. Guests include: Ted Wheeler, Portland City Mayor; Michael Armstrong, Senior Climate Planner, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability; Nathan Howard, senior policy advisor to the mayor.
