ACTIVITY INFORMATION
What we are doing

California's Statewide climate and energy goals are among the most ambitious in the world, and local governments have an important role to play in achieving these goals. They are both large emitters of GHG gases and decision / policy makers who can mitigate emissions through polices and programs. Providing local governments with a scientific and defensible accounting of GHG emissions allows communities to develop strategies to reduce these emissions, creates confidence in investors, and reduces climate risk in California through active, local engagement.

What we are achieving

ICLEI advances achievement of state and local sustainability goals by assisting California cities and counties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save energy. The support is offered to any local government free of charge, and can be a light-touch (answering questions) to in-depth assistance (completion of an GHG inventory). In addition to technical support, the program convenes an annual peer-exchange event, offers virtual training, and recognizes communities that hit milestones in clean energy and climate action. ICLEI’s GHG emissions management tool, ClearPath, has been adapted to meet California specific requirements and opportunities. The program makes the software tool available at no cost to all local governments statewide; provides technical support in the development of GHG inventories and climate action plans, and shares out best practices observed.
