Cincinnati has raised the standard for city climate action in the U.S. Since 2008, they have worked on a holistic Climate Action Plan with an aim for 80% emission reduction by 2050. But recently, Cincinnati got the confidence to aim higher. Now, they aim for a 100% emissions reduction, and the Climate Action Plan (the Green Cincinnati Plan) puts the just transition first. Cincinnati is the first city to publish a ClimateOS dashboard.
