Thanks. Also at the hearing, the Climate Awareness and Mobilization Working Group, which organized the hearing, called for a Mayor's climate emergency conference, drawing on all sectors of the city, to develop a new climate plan and concrete actions the city should take. Please contact the Councillors to voice your support for a climate emergency conference and any other measures you believe can help us to fight climate change. Excellent report of this hearing.

The panelists noted that they were there not to offer policy solutions, but as scientists provide the data and analysis to help the public and policy makers understand the climate emergency.
