Join us to learn about one of the most effective ways that Californians can advocate for climate solutions at the local level – the Climate Action Plan (CAP). This workshop is co-sponsored by Climate Action Campaign and Preserve Calavera and endorsed by the North County Climate Change Alliance/Organizing for Action.
What you can expect from the workshop:
- Understand what a CAP is, why it is needed, and how it can be used to get better climate policies in place
- Learn how a CAP fits in with regional and state plans
- Review the status of various cities’ CAPs
- Connect with other climate advocates in your city and region
- Leave with follow up actions and contacts
- Get the know how and the inspiration to participate strategically in the process
The workshop will combine presentations by CAP experts, breakouts to discuss the status of individual cities, and fun networking and energizing activities.
