How We Work
To fairly and efficiently address sustainability and quality-of-life goals at the community scale, we use the following process:
•Engage local governments
•Identify best practices
•Organize critical state actors including state agencies, non-profits, planning organizations, academic institutions, and industry, to coordinate policy and technical/financial resources that support local action
•Tailor national tools, best practices, resources and campaigns to a state’s legal, policy, political, and environmental context
•Support cities moving from pledges & plans to implementation by providing data, tools, training, and hands-on technical assistance
•Develop peer city engagement for regional action
•Measure, reward, and track city progress
