 PCL
and PCLF launched the Local Climate Action Initiative in 2007 to
help local communities across California adopt and better enforce
policies that cut the carbon footprint of new development in their
region. The Initiative is a venue for community organizations that
feel a sense of urgency in wanting to address climate change—and
are seeking the tools to create meaningful local victories.
PCLF is holding a series of Local Climate Action Initiative workshops
across California, providing practical information and facilitating
strategy building to help organizations choose wisely among the plethora
of emerging engagement opportunities. We have published a Toolkit
which is presented at each workshop. In addition, we also share success
stories from other communities and help connect individuals working
on similar issues.
This Toolkit is a how-to manual for community organizations that
want to lower the carbon footprint of new growth in their area by
working with their local governments to develop sound development
policies. It will help you identify potential projects and policies,
review the political landscape in your area, and map out your strategies
for a successful campaign.
Workshop goals include:
- Helping incubate and accelerate local campaigns to cut the carbon
footprint of new development;
- Harnessing the collective power of local action for local and
statewide success; and
- Mapping out promising policy venues, strategies, and tactics
for successful local campaigns.
To request a workshop in your community, please contact Matt
