Announcing the Urban Landscapes Climate Action Guide — New Resources for Cities

Greetings —

I am so excited to share with you the step-by-step “Managing Urban Landscapes for Climate Action Guide,” (a.k.a. “The Guide”). This Guide is actually a growing compendium of resources for City Planners who want to learn how to manage their urban lands for Climate Action. It is the result of an ongoing collaboration between Urban Drawdown Initiative, the Urban Sustainability Directors Network’s (USDN) Carbon Drawdown Working Group (CDWG), the Trust for Public Land, and an amazing group of graduate students from the Masters for the Environment program at the University of Colorado.

You can access the guide on this page.

We will continue to update the site as new components are adding to the guide.
