Local officials can learn about participating in the statewide sustainability and climate change recognition program, The Beacon Award: Local Leadership toward Solving Climate Change, by participating in two free webinars offered by the Institute for Local Government in conjunction with the Sustainable Communities Learning Network.
Throughout the course of the Beacon Award program, participating
agencies must complete activities in each of the ten Best Practice Areas: one activity to
achieve the silver Beacon Award level, two for the gold Beacon
Award level, and three for the platinum Beacon Award level.

As cities and counties participating in the Beacon Award program work to complete the criteria necessary to achieve a Silver, Gold or Platinum Beacon Award, we are providing the opportunity to recognize interim accomplishments — including reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in municipal operations as well as completed activities in ILG’s ten Sustainability Best Practice Areas.
The Beacon Award is sponsored by the Statewide Energy Efficiency
Collaborative, which offers no-cost resources to support the
energy and climate initiatives of California local governments.
