State and local politicians, especially those whose communities have suffered from the recent spike in extreme weather events, have been far quicker than Congress to embrace meaningful climate change policies. How are state and local actors in Illinois coming together to address climate change and implement new policies? 

In this workshop, RDCEP researchers Michael Glotter and David Kelly will provide introductions to several resources and tools. They’ll discuss how
