Support — at all levels of government — policy, legislation and funding to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 in all sectors, use less energy and water, deploy renewable energy and low-carbon transportation, prepare for and adapt to climate impacts, and build community resilience while incorporating principles of equity and best available science in decision-making.

STRATEGIES

PP-1.1 Integrate the Regional Climate Action Plan (RCAP) objectives in all planning and policies developed by local governments and agencies. Focus efforts on specific recommendations that require a policy or policy process change.

PP-1.2 Advocate for state and federal policy changes and funding that aid local climate work, as outlined in RCAP recommendations. Coordinate and develop regional advocacy through the Compact Policy Knowledge Exchange.
