OUR COMMUNITY PROGRAM

Community programCA-CP works with communities throughout the Northeast to find solutions to climate change and build constituencies for effective climate policies and actions. We advise and partner with citizens, educators, faith groups, small businesses, municipal governments, and other local leaders. Cost-effective opportunities exist for communities to reduce their emissions as well as their vulnerability to climate impacts, and we are here to help!

We organize events and training opportunities, advise on mitigation and adaptation strategies, document and publicize the benefits of local climate action, and offer information to support community-based initiatives. More info...

Our online COMMUNITY TOOLKIT, created in partnership with Jeffrey H. Taylor and Associates, offers free project guidance, sample ordinances, financing information and relevant contacts to help local officials plan and implement GHG mitigation strategies. See the Table of Contents here.
