One of these days I’m actually going to make it to one of these Sustainable City events.
The next forum of the Urban Design Studio’s Sustainable City Series
will examine climate change and explore the framework for addressing
the issue from the local level to that of the United Nations.Art Williams, director of the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District, and Keith Mountain, associate professor of geography and geosciences at the University of Louisville, will speak.
Both Williams and Mountain have extensive backgrounds in the subject. Williams attended the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali and heads efforts on climate change locally through the Climate Change Committee of the Partnership for a Green City.
Mountain, who recently was appointed state geographer by Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, is a glaciologist and global warming expert with more than 20 years of experience.
The Sustainable City Series is designed to raise the community’s
awareness of sustainable practices. Its ultimate goal is to provide a
catalyst to move Louisville and the region towards a sustainable model
for the nation.Climate Change: From Bali to Louisville
