She focuses on urban climate action and strategies for linking it to equity, economic development, and innovation. In her fourth book, Greenovation: Urban Leadership on Climate Change, she argues that the climate strategies of too many cities represent random acts of greeness rather than integrate and aggressive action. She points to leading cities in North America and Europe and offers strategies for lagging cities to acclerate their action.

She is working on her next book, Climate Just Cities and Regions.
