Since taking office in 2000, Mayor Anderson has been an outspoken advocate for protecting the environment. He committed Salt Lake City, in its own operations, to meet or beat the terms of the Kyoto Protocol. By 2005, Salt Lake City far exceeded its Kyoto goal, seven years before the Protocol’s 2012 target date.
In November 2005, Salt Lake City won the World Leadership Award for the environment for its Salt Lake City Green Program, perhaps the most comprehensive environmental program in the United States.
Mayor Anderson was also named by Business Week as one of the top twenty international figures working to combat climate change. Mayor Anderson serves as a member of the Newsweek Global Environment and Leadership Advisory Committee, and is on the steering committee of The Climate Group. In 2003, he received the Climate Protection Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
