Why Was Our Mayor in Dubai? We Asked Her.

Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway was in Dubai in December to attend the world’s largest climate conference. For the first time, mayors around the world were formally invited to the United Nations Climate Change Conference, the COP28, to share ideas for tackling climate change locally. It’s a shift toward recognizing that while nations argue over global climate agreements, many cities are quietly leading the way in finding ways to cool the planet. 

Bianca Martin catches up with the Mayor to learn why she went, what came out of it, and what Madisonians can do about our changing climate.
