Dear John,
Join us on May 4, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. (PDT)/ 12:00 p.m. (EDT) for the
2022 release of the annual ParkScore index where
we'll unveil this year's top rankings and take an
in-depth look at ways parks are being powerfully leveraged to meet the
climate crisis in cities nationwide.

As the planet warms and inaction on climate leads to worsening risks
and impacts, American cities are taking matters into their own hands.
Cities are not only pledging to slash carbon emissions in the coming
decades, they are also figuring out how to be more resilient. As part
of our 2022 ParkScore index, we asked parks departments in the 100
most populous U.S. cities what they're doing around climate.
Bottom line: many are doing a great deal. But cities are not taking
action in a vacuum.
I will be joined in conversation with Tara Buckner, urban planner for
the City of Atlanta's Parks and Recreation Department and
project manager for Activate ATL: Recreation and Parks for All
Comprehensive Master Plan, and Dr. Sara Meerow, assistant professor in
the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona
State University and head of its Planning for Urban Resilience Lab.
Trust for Public Land Strategy and Innovation Director Linda Hwang and
Climate Director Brendan Shane will bring expertise and insight to the
discussion from the perspective of TPL's climate and equity
goals.
Our panel will share the many ways neighborhood associations,
climate-justice groups, arts organizations, and environmental
activists are working alongside municipalities to aggressively
implement climate resilience measures nationwide, as well as advice
for communities looking to adopt these models in their own regions.
From seemingly simple remedies such as planting trees to sophisticated
mapping and data analysis to designing parks with natural basins that
capture stormwater, discover-and find hope in-the power of
green infrastructure to combat climate change.
When: Wednesday, May 04, 9:00 a.m. (PDT) / 12:00 noon (EDT)
Space is limited so I hope you'll register today!
