Here are the top stories in Boulder today:

  1. December's "Right Here, Right Now" Global Climate Summit is a partnership between business, academic, government groups. Co-hosted by the United Nations and CU Boulder, the three-day summit will go deep on the interconnectedness of human rights and climate change. The summit will bring together governments, businesses, educators and individuals and provide adoptable solutions that can be acted upon. (CU Boulder)
  2. Auditor's report indicates that Denver International Airport could be making even more money than it already does. After reviewing several concessionaire contracts, Denver Auditor Tim O'Brien says that the lack of oversight is one of DIA's biggest issues. One contract his team reviewed, had the vendor self-reporting income and calculating their own rent payments – an agreement that hadn't been reviewed in nearly a decade. (Denverite)
  3. Homeless in Boulder getting Thanksgiving meals from Feet Forward. The local nonprofit is planning to serve nearly 200 meals to anyone in Boulder that's in need and hungry on Thanksgiving Day at the Boulder Bandshell at 3 p.m. (Yellow Scene)
  4. Don't be a grinch this holiday season. As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season rears its ugly head, here are some great tips on how not to let this holiday season get the best of you. (FOX31)
  5. Colorado counties' warrant clearing workshops are life changing for some. These "fresh start" clinics have been an overwhelming success in the counties they've been hosted in. Prosecutors work together with those that have outstanding warrants. The programs have seen thousands of low-level warrants extinguished, lives changed, and new doors opened. (CPR)
