Tucson was selected as one of 10 communities to host a “Spotlight” Conversation on Climate Action on Earth Day, April 22, 2009 as part of the National Conversation on Climate Action.

The Tucson event was hosted in partnership by the City of Tucson, Pima County, and the University of Arizona as a part of all three entities’ ongoing efforts to address climate change.
