The Citistates Group presents

Welcome to Citiwire.net — October 16, 2008.

Welcome to Citiwire.net! As much as climate change is a pressing (and increasingly threatening) global challenge, it requires a vast variety of new directions and policy innovations at the state and city, and especially the regional level. Both my column and the piece by our Citistates Group colleague Marc Weiss focus on leading state, city and regional responses. Mark, who is chairman of Global Urban Development and lead figure in the Climate Prosperity Project, also underscores how critical “green” initiatives and strategies are to prospects of reviving and healthy economies.
