From Branding and Community Engagement to Standard Metrics and Implementation Blueprints, walk through KLA's Climate Action Planning process

The KLA Team has helped small towns and big cities and counties from all over the US execute data-driven climate action planning processes with equitable community engagement at the core. We've learned a thing or two along the way. In a series of blog posts we captured some of the key elements of our "CAP" process, from foundational elements like branding and community engagement to the nuts and bolts of the final plan like implementation blueprints.  The posts include best practice examples and take-home resources to help you build a stronger, more effective climate, sustainability and/or resilience plan.
