BCMCLC Workshop after AVICC EOS Session #1: Climate Action 101

How can you support climate action and clean growth in your community?

Join the BC Municipal Climate Leadership Council (BCMCLC) and the Community Energy Association (CEA) for an interactive workshop immediately following the first session of the AVICC Elected Official Seminar.

Who is it for? This workshop is for newly elected officials to learn about the roles of local governments in climate and energy planning as well as project and program implementation. It is also for returning elected officials to receive a refresher and updates on new federal and provincial government initiatives and emerging opportunities for local governments to take action on climate change.

Learn about:

• the roles of local and senior governments;
• the foundations of community energy planning;
• key actions for the building, transportation, waste and energy sectors; and
• reporting and recognition for local government climate action.

Get inspired by case studies from leaders in your region and discuss strategies with your peers in small breakout group sessions.
