For now, let’s decode ESG together. - Climate leadership doesn’t always start in Washington—it can also start in cities and local communities. In this episode of ESG Decoded x Climate Week NYC, host Emma Cox sits down with Justin M. Bibb, the 58th Mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, to discuss why local action is driving meaningful climate progress, even amid federal uncertainty. Mayor Bibb walks us through how his personal journey—from growing up in Cleveland to running for office—led him to make climate action a central part of his mayoral priorities. The conversation connects climate policy to public health, affordability, and equity, highlighting how community voices have shaped his approach to real-world solutions. Learn how cities are embedding sustainability into everyday governance, and why that matters more than ever during a time when federal climate action is lacking.
