You’ll find some of your best ideas and connections through other conference activities: \nExposition Hall: Over 275 vendors will be on hand to introduce you to new products\, services\, and programs that may offer a perfect solution to your city or town.  All it takes is one great idea. \nNetworking Events: Whether it’s the opening reception\, closing gala\, any of the Constituency Group events or State Municipal League receptions\, there is no shortage of opportunities for you to meet and build relationships with other local leaders to exchange ideas at the conference and beyond.  Or\, use these events simply to strengthen your relationships with your own staff and colleagues outside the walls of City Hall. \nConstituency Group Events: Many of these events are open to all attendees (though some require ticket purchase). Constituency groups provide a great opportunity to find a niche within NLC and meet others with common backgrounds or interests. \nNLC Governance Activities and Meetings: City Summit is the culmination of NLC’s policy and governance work for the year.  Get involved by attending a policy committee meeting and the annual business meeting to learn how you can have your say in NLC.  After all\, it’s your organization!

The hard work begins now. The Paris accord is a giant step forward\, but at the same time more ambitious actions such as earlier and deeper emissions cuts are needed to create a world in which all can thrive. So\, does the agreement deliver us from climate catastrophe\, or is it another diplomatic disappointment? Can we build an economy powered by clean\, renewable energy in time? \nWe’ll explore these questions with interactive simulations of the climate and economy developed by MIT and climateinteractive.org. Sterman will discuss how these tools are used by policymakers and negotiators around the world\, and will report on both the UN Paris climate summit last year and the just-concluded summit in Marrakech. Yet\, as important as that work is\, broad public support for action around the world is essential. For complex\, contentious issues such as climate change\, simply showing research isn’t enough; progress only occurs when people learn for themselves. Sterman will demonstrate how interactive tools are being used by political leaders\, policymakers\, and members of the public around the world to build shared understanding of climate change and the task before us. Finally\, we’ll discuss what each of us can do\, professionally and personally\, to build a safer\, sustainable world in which all can thrive.
