Edina Mayor Jim Hovland has announced his participation in the newly launched Climate Mayors Steering Committee, a group of 24 mayors that will serve as a leading voice in efforts to further climate action in the cities across the U.S.
Hovland is one of two Minnesota mayors on the committee. St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter was also named to the committee, which is part of the Climate Mayors coalition, which works to highlight the importance of city-led climate action in creating healthier, cleaner and more equitable and sustainable cities.
