In this episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with David Miller, former mayor of the city of Toronto and author of the book, \u201cSolved: How the World\u2019s Great Cities are Fixing the Climate Crisis.\u201d The book came out in late 2020 and argues that cities are, in many ways, uniquely central to climate change action\u2014and are, in fact, some of the best-equipped jurisdictions to take on the climate challenge. \n\nMiller draws from his own experience as a mayor in reflecting on these issues, but also draws on his experience in working with the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group. The book includes anecdotes and lessons learned from a number of municipalities across the globe\u2014accounts of tangible actions that are tremendously refreshing, when so much of the climate conversation can feel intractable. The conversation touches on Miller\u2019s motivation in putting the book together and what he\u2019s discovered along the way.\n\nReferences and recommendations:\n\n\u201cSolved: How the World\u2019s Great Cities are Fixing the Climate Crisis\u201d by David Miller; https://utorontopress.com/us/solved-3\n\n\u201cCapital in the Twenty-First Century\u201d by Thomas Piketty; https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674979857\n\n\u201cThe Bicycling Big Book of Cycling for Beginners\u201d by Tori Bortman; https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/593171/the-bicycling-big-book-of-cycling-for-beginners-by-tori-bortman/
