Rethinking Boundaries
Cities are now the engines of the world economy and social structure and must, therefore, work as a network across sectors and national boundaries to bring more resources and knowledge to building solutions. To bring resiliency to the city and to the network of information sharing, new forms of governance and public-private partnerships must be examined for their efficacy in supporting an open exchange and transfer of ideas and technology.

Day 1
“Make goals as simple as possible.”
-Nicola Hedge, MPIA, Manager, Climate Initiative, The San Diego Foundation
“Make priorities – look at major issues – start a process – trigger an opening of the scope. If cities have the commitment, who is elected mayor doesn’t
matter.”
-Prudencio Perera, Former Director, European Commission Directorate
“Do small things now, so that in 50 years, get a big return, which makes financial sense. Find co-benefits - institutionalizing climate action keeps the
momentum going.”
-Brendan Reed, Environmental Resource Manager, City of Chula Vista
“When writing guidance, ditch the jargon – so that everyone understands.”
