Mountain View + Google: The Power of Public-Private Partnerships

Come hear about an exciting sustainability collaboration between Mountain View and Google! Working with Google through its Civic Leadership program, the Mountain View Sustainability Team has significantly streamlined our greenhouse gas inventory process, and through a community engagement process we better understand key motivations and barriers to sustainability action among different segments of Mountain View’s diverse community, as well as which communication channels are most effective for outreach. You’ll also get the chance to learn about Google's recently-launched tool, “Environmental Insights Explorer.” Based on Google-derived data, and designed for the general public, city staff, and elected officials, this tool lets you explore estimated carbon emissions in selected cities to help make informed decisions and take action on climate change. And, Mountain View is one of the first five pilot cities! Join us to learn more about these projects and how they’ll affect sustainability initiatives in Mountain View.
