He shares tangible ways Los Angeles and other cities across the globe are promoting economic and social justice while taking concrete action on climate change — and talks about how to create a more inclusive, green and sustainable society as we rebuild from COVID-19. (This virtual conversation, hosted by TED’s current affairs curator Whitney Pennington Rodgers, was recorded July 7, 2020.)
