Welcome to ClimatePlan

From the climate crisis to the economic crisis, California stands at a pivotal moment in our history. These challenges make it clear that California must change how we plan for future growth. The passage of SB 375 in 2008 was an important step forward, creating a window of opportunity to advance sustainable community planning and transportation that recognizes the dual imperatives of environmental and economic sustainability.

ClimatePlan, a network of leading non-profit organizations, is committed to taking advantage of this window of opportunity. Our mission is to advance policies and programs to address the relationship between land use policy and climate change, and leverage the resources and partnerships necessary to realize more sustainable and equitable development throughout California.

In early 2009, we brought together smart growth leaders from across California to develop a shared strategy for successful implementation of SB 375 and related policies. That strategy is encapsulated in our new Strategic Plan – click here to download it.
