Contra Costa County Climate Leaders

Description

The Contra Costa County Climate Leaders (4CL) Program is a network assisting the county and its 19 cities to inform, support and encourage the measurement and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Through education and sharing of best practices we will ensure sustainable, healthy and livable cities. Our goal: Leaving a legacy for future generations to enjoy.
Our network uses a three pronged multi-media approach that provides encouraging reminders and easy access to the tools necessary to ensure the county’s decision makers are well informed, educated and receive copies of best practices. We strive to provide city leaders with a monthly newsletter, quarterly workshops, and a website portal for sharing activities on an interactive Map and a matrix to compare city to city. This multi-media approach will ensure that best practices are at the forefront of day-to-day discussion–and that they are shared, supported, and implemented into policies that reduce Greenhouse gas emissions in Contra Costa County.
