Who We Are
ClimatePlan is a new network of leading organizations that have come together to inform and educate California’s local, regional and state decision-makers about the global warming-land use connection.
The ClimatePlan network works to promote land use policies and public investment to achieve AB 32 greenhouse gas emission reductions targets, improve quality of life in California and serve as a model for national action.
What We Do
Educate Stakeholders. Work with key state agencies to ensure that AB 32 implementation includes strategies for promoting sustainable land use and transportation.
Promote Innovations and Research. Create a regional pilot program in the Bay Area to ensure the Regional Transportation Plan helps meet AB 32 targets.
Work with local government staff and organizations to ensure general plan updates are in line with AB 32 targets, connect local government officials with state and regional agency staff to identify obstacles to efficient land use and develop strategies and funding sources to overcome them.
Coordinate Efforts. Work with University of California (UC) programs and leading organizations to ensure creation, compilation and dissemination of models illustrating the relationship between land-uses and GHG emissions. Educate key stakeholders about the land use and climate connection.
Improve Land Use Modeling. Ensure that regional transportation models fully reflect the benefits of smart growth development. Provide guidance to the California Transportation Commission on cost-effective, feasible techniques to improve the current models.
