Zero Cities: A beginner’s guide to understanding – and acting on – emissions pledges

Many U.S. cities, towns and counties have goals to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. 

But what exactly is behind this goal and how will they get there? How do you know if it's any good?

Zero Cities is the first resource guide from The Planet You Save May Be Your Own, a weekly free newsletter about climate action.

It’s a beginner’s guide to understanding — and acting on – your city’s emissions pledge. In this guide, we cover demystifying these sometimes dense, bureaucratic plans, and key questions for those wanting to get involved in local climate action.
