Bio
Joshua Alpert began work with C40, a network of the worlds megacities committed to addressing climate change, in August, 2016. As Director of Special Projects, he runs C40’s think tank, creating and developing new programmes to be implemented in C40 cities. Programmes have included C40’s air quality programme, inclusive climate action programme and currently C40’s strategy on reducing consumption. Joshua also serves as C40’s Head of Bloomberg Philanthropy’s American Cities Climate Challenge as well as Interim C40 North American Director.
Prior to starting with C40, Joshua was Chief of Staff to Mayor Charlie Hales. As Chief of Staff, Josh worked with and advised the Mayor on long-range strategy and policy, led City efforts on addressing homelessness and was the lead for C40, where he helped launch a seven-city pilot to quantify and measure the green economy. Before joining Mayor Hales’ administration, Joshua worked for 7 years as the Northwest Director of Conservation Strategies for The Trust for Public Land, a national non-profit focused on land conservation. While there, he oversaw 18 successful ballot measure campaigns in western cities, counties and states, raising $2.7 billion in public funding for parks, natural areas and waterways.
Joshua holds a J.D. law degree from the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania. When not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, traveling the world, backpacking, cooking and working on his side venture- a virtual platform to revolutionize the world of remote work.
