Strong climate policy, similar to the Energy Innovation Act, offers substantial economic benefits to rural American communities. It would dramatically expand wind and solar energy, creating jobs and bringing revenue to areas in need. Notably, over 80% of these financial benefits are projected to flow to Republican-held districts. Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) has developed district-specific research and summary handouts detailing these direct annual revenues.

Join CCL Research Coordinator Jerry Hinkle for a training on this analysis, which synthesizes reports from RMI and UPenn, demonstrating significant rural economic development opportunities from renewable energy.

Governments, constrained by global economic competition, struggle to address the climate crisis effectively. John Bunzl offers The SIMPOL pledge, enabling citizens to vote for politicians who commit to simultaneous climate action once enough nations agree. Corporations can also sign to lower emissions.

Bunzl, with Nick Duffell, co-authored *The SIMPOL Solution*, which explores the psychological, political, and economic barriers preventing unified action on the #ClimateCrisis.

To learn more and take the pledge, visit simpol.org. Businesses can join at theclimatepledge.com. *The Simpol Solution* is available at Barnes & Noble and Amazon. For more information on our planet, visit the FacingFuture Library.

Sustainability - John Fullerton of the Capital Institute talks about his journey from Wall Street to being a sustainability advocate. An early influence in his understanding of the sustainability crisis was the work of E.F. Schumacher author of the book, Small is Beautiful.

John goes on to discuss his work with Allan Savory, founder of Holistic Management, in restoring grasslands and, ultimately, carbon back to the soil. The interview was conducted by Ruth Ann Barrett of EarthSayers.tv in San Francisco on October 7th, 2010.

The mission of the Capital Institute is to stimulate the interaction and action of leaders, scholars, and society by raising awareness of the need to harness the power of capital and markets to advance a just, resilient, and sustainable economic system that will improve lives and preserve the planet.

The focus of the Allan Savory Institute is to restore the vast grasslands of the world through the teaching and practice of Holistic Management and Holistic Decision Making.

Founded in 1980 the mission of the Schumacher Society is to promote the building of strong local economies that link people, land, and community.

Portland is celebrated for its strategic land-use planning, earning its reputation as one of the world's greenest and most livable cities. Successful revitalization of areas like the Pearl District and Alberta showcases this commitment. Yet, the city grapples with transforming its aspirations for equitable and healthy communities into concrete action, especially concerning long-stalled projects such as the Memorial Coliseum and Centennial Mills.

Moderated by Brian Libby, this program features John Russell, who will address these development challenges. He will propose solutions to advance urban growth while upholding Portland's core values. This discussion was originally published on January 16, 2013, by the City Club of Portland.
