The Regional Plan Association and ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability cordially invite you to hear Rocky Anderson, founder of High Road for Human Rights, former Mayor of Salt Lake City, and one of the country’s leading advocates on climate change. This is the Keynote address for the Mayors’ Institute on Climate Change, hosted by Regional Plan Associa­tion and ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability.

Ross C. “Rocky” Anderson, founder of High Road for Human Rights, served as Mayor of Salt Lake City from 2000-2008. Anderson gained international renown for his Salt Lake City Green Program, a comprehensive effort to improve the sustainability and reduce the environmental footprint of Salt Lake City’s municipal operations. Rocky was named by Business Week as one of the top twenty advocates in the world on climate change and served on the Newsweek Global Environmental Leadership Advisory Commit­tee. He now is a leading advocate of tackling climate change as a human rights issue.
