#616 In-person and Online: Run On Climate - Addressing the climate crisis through local action

Cities account for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions and have enormous power to reduce emissions through local policy. With an incoming federal government that plans to move backwards on climate, it is more crucial now than ever that cities are moving forward.

Jack Hanson is an Evanston native who just moved back to Chicagoland after spending twelve years in Burlington, VT. At age 24 Jack was elected to the Burlington City Council with record voter turnout. During his two terms on Council, Jack championed over a dozen successful climate policies, including mandatory weatherization of all rental housing. In 2021, Jack launched Run On Climate to support bold local climate action in communities across the U.S.
