Lily Riahi, United Nations Environment Programme District Energy in Cities initiative, made a presentation to Mayor Chris Coleman honoring the city of St. Paul as one of only three UNEP Champion Cities in the U.S. This distinction honors urban areas committed to developing and sharing district energy policies with other cities and working cooperatively toward a cleaner, more resilient future.
As a UNEP Champion City, St. Paul is now in the company of more than 45 global Champion Cities such as Copenhagen, Helsinki and Dubai, sharing insights and experiences with other communities around the world to accelerate the deployment of district energy.
