Chicago Climate Week Features Wide Range of Climate Action Programs

Week-long Collaboration of Advocates Makes Its Debut on July 18

Chicago is home to a robust community of individuals and organizations who advocate for actions to address climate change and create a healthier and more sustainable environment. A number of Local Food Forum subscribers and readers are members of that community.

This is why I am pleased to promote the first-ever Chicago Climate Week. This collaboration of climate-focused organizations, government agencies, companies and advocates will take place from July 18 to 25, with a wide array of programming spread out across the city.
