Over the past decade, a new type of municipal leader charged with balancing efforts to create a healthier environment and promote economic prosperity has emerged: the urban sustainability director. The Urban Sustainability Directors Network comprises 120 U.S. city sustainability directors who exchange information, collaborate to enhance individual practice, and work together to advance the field of urban sustainability. With this grant, the Funders’ Network will provide resources to the Local Sustainability Matching Fund, which is designed to spur pioneering climate adaptation and mitigation projects in cities and other locales.
