Gardenopolis Cleveland’s editors are looking forward to tomorrow’s event: Sustainable Cleveland’s 2019 Summit. Every year, 500+ community and business leaders, government officials, students, and residents work together to help transform Cleveland into a “green city on a blue lake.”

Sustainable Cleveland launched in 2009, and on Wednesday they will celebrate 10 years of progress and build their future.

The one-day Summit at Cleveland Public Auditorium will start at 8am and last until 5pm, followed by an evening reception. The Summit will include remarks from Mayor Frank Jackson, keynote presentations, recognition and awards, facilitated discussions on key priorities going forward, and much more. Sustainable Cleveland will:

• Celebrate Cleveland’s progress in sustainability and share stories of collaboration and action inspired through the SC2019 initiative
• Recognize individuals, organizations, and businesses leading by example to advance sustainability in Cleveland
• Feature keynote presentations focused on taking climate action, transportation equity, and creating a circular economy
• Advance Cleveland Climate Action Plan priorities that depend on the whole community, such as reaching 100% renewable electricity, access to trees and green space, sustainable transportation, clean water, and waste
• Chart a path forward beyond 2019

We hope to see you there!
