Climate Change is an immediate and escalating threat that is having a dramatic impact on the economies, health and way of life in California communities. Now, more than ever, local government leaders need additional expertise to assist with meeting the immediate needs of their communities, while still being able to make meaningful progress on long-term goals related to equity, climate, and resilience. Work done through ILG’s Sustainable & Resilient Communities pillar provides local leaders with capacity building services, technical support, partnership development, and educational resources to make informed policies, plans, and decisions around climate planning, land use, housing, infrastructure, and engagement that results in more equitable, sustainable, and resilient communities.
