Mayors Climate Protection Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mayors Climate Protection Center, founded in 2007 as a subgroup of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, is dedicated to providing mayors with "the guidance and assistance they need to lead their cities’ efforts to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that are linked to climate change."[1]
The initiative was promoted by Seattle mayor Greg Nickels. Douglas Palmer, Mayor of Trenton, said that the Conference of Mayors had, for decades "...formally adopted and actively promoted policy positions on a range of issues affecting energy production and use and its impact on the environment."[1]
