California has received worldwide attention for the state’s
ambitious efforts to address climate change. California’s 482
cities and 58 counties are proud of what they have accomplished
to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are poised to
do more in the years ahead. Despite limited resources, cities and
counties across the state have found cost efficient, innovative
solutions that reflect the unique characteristics of their
communities. The Institute’s Climate Action programs, services
and resources help local leaders understand, apply and track the
results of these innovative practices, demonstrating how
California communities are setting an example for the state,
nation and the world.
