California’s 483 cities/towns, 58 counties, and thousands of special districts are proud of what they have accomplished to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and are poised to do more in the years ahead. Despite limited resources, these local government agencies across the state have found cost-efficient, innovative solutions that reflect the unique characteristics of their communities.

The Institute for Local Government's Climate and Sustainability programs, services, and resources help local leaders understand, apply, and track the results of these innovative practices.
