Summary

In this episode, we sit down with Jonathan Koehn, Boulder’s Director of Climate Initiatives, to unpack what it really takes to build street-level climate resilience. Moving past high-level emissions targets, Jonathan explains how Boulder is operationalizing its restructured climate tax to fund neighborhood microgrids, protect vulnerable communities first, and help residents execute property-level wildfire defense. We dive into the practical realities of deep adaptation and discuss how hyper-local initiatives like *Cool Boulder* turn climate anxiety into agency right in our own backyards.
