Introduction to City Climate Action Planning

A climate action plan creates a framework for cities to reduce or “mitigate” greenhouse gas emissions in coordination with other city plans for development, transport, health, and other issues. When successfully orchestrated, a climate action plan can create a shared vision around a climate goal and can align climate policies with social and economic development goals, unlocking complementary social and economic benefits for cities.

The objective of the webinar is to provide an introduction to climate action planning. The webinar will review principles of climate action planning, lay out a process for planning, and walk through each component, from quantifying GHG emissions to reporting on progress.
