Cool Cities is a collaboration of elected officials in our region addressing conservation, sustainability, the climate crisis, and environmental justice.
We plan to host a series of Pop Ups in 2025 to convene elected officials and learn how climate change impacts the St. Louis region and how we can work together towards solutions. Each Pop Up is part information, part inspiration, and part relationship building. Check out our next Pop Up below!
