Dear Friends,

Climate change is real and it is hurting our environment, our health and our economy. We need to think creatively and collaboratively about how to reduce our carbon emissions as a community.

As Mayor, I will form The Mayor’s Climate Council to bring together stakeholders and practitioners from organizations such as SACE, SEEED, SOCM, Sierra Club, CCL, Trees Knoxville, Neighborhood Representatives, NAACP, KUB, TVA, academic experts from UT and ORNL, as well as our outdoor recreation community and government representatives (e.g. MPC). This council will include members of the business and development community, so we can collectively find smart solutions to promote sustainable redevelopment of our city while protecting green spaces.

Recently, Knoxville City Council adopted new carbon emission goals for the city, and I am ready to work with this council to harness the talents and energies of all stakeholders, all generations, to meet these goals.

I will play an active role leading the Mayor’s Climate Council, working to share the urgency of these issues and solicit ideas for how we can halve our carbon emissions as a community by 2030.

Thanks for all of your support!
Indya
