Green Pathways to Prosperity
On Friday, May 21st, the Regional Green Economy Task Force will host the Green Pathways to Prosperity Summit in Pittsburgh.
This summit will bring together government officials, clergy, organizational leaders, business leaders and community advocates who represent traditionally disadvantaged constituencies for a day of discussion on how Pittsburgh can attain the goal of a socially just, economically prosperous and environmentally sustainable future. Key topics of the summit will include climate change, environmental justice, emerging industries, and public policy.
The goals of the Green Pathways to Prosperity summit are to both contribute to a more informed group of community leaders, and to also inspire collaboration between those in attendance. For more information on this summit, contact Khari Mosley at k.mosley@gtechstrategies.org.
Several years ago, I attended some meetings like this in Boulder. We were able to make great progress setting goals and targets for the various agencies and community groups to meet. One thing that helped — the city council only allows building permits for structures that are two stories high. This prevents huge buildings downtown and blocking everyone’s view. We also worked on getting commitments from various businesses to meet with the traditionally disadvantaged constituents around their business and talk to them just to build the relationship. It was a good idea and worked pretty well.
