How is Philly preparing for climate change? One group, the Climate & Urban Systems Partnership (CUSP), motivates residents to learn how these solutions are preparing our city for climate change and shows how, together, neighborhoods can make a real difference. We interview Richard Johnson of The Franklin Institute is the Manager of the Climate & Urban Systems Partnership to hear about what CUSP has accomplished in the past 5 years.

• What is CUSP?
• How does CUSP educate Philadelphia residents?
• A big SECRET about how Philly murals are created
• Unusual partnerships that have formed due to CUSP
• How to get a FREE rain barrel in Philadelphia
• Ways to engage people around the “doom & gloom” around climate change
• How to talk to climate deniers about climate change
• A surprising group of climate allies and educators
