WHAT IS A POP UP?
Pop Ups are a fun way for elected officials to get together and learn how climate change impacts the St. Louis region and how we can work together toward solutions. Each Pop Up will be part information, part inspiration, and part relationship building.
IS A POP UP RIGHT FOR ME?
Yes! Pop Ups are designed to be a fun and casual way to:
- inform you of what is going on in other municipalities
- inspire ideas that can are actionable at the local level
- share strategies of successes (and the lessons learned from failures)
- build a team of electeds who are interested in collaboration
