Providing reliable and objective information helps residents understand the causes, impacts and solutions to climate change. Involving the public in the development of climate change policies and programs builds community awareness and support for local actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including the co-benefits of actions that reduce climate change.

• Promote individual actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve natural systems that store carbon.
• Promote cooperation among agencies and communities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve natural systems that store carbon.
• Provide opportunities for public engagement that will support successful implementation of climate change actions.
