Mapping the Climate Action Landscape
Who’s doing what, where and how?
We’re all in this together. Working collectively through organizations of various types and in all sectors, dedicated passionate people are addressing the myriad of climate-related issues and challenging and designing and building pathways to ecologically sustainable, economically vibrant, and socially just communities for all.
The Bay Area Climate Action Mapping Project is intended to facilitate inter-organization cooperation, communication and collaboration. The maps provided here can also give us valuable insights and perspectives into our regional efforts to address specific aspects of the climate emergency including sea level rise, impact mitigation, our solid waste crisis, and the just transition to a fossil-fuel free economy.
About the Project
More critical now than ever before, we must all think globally, act locally … and do so better, faster, together! And to do so, we need to know who we are, where we are, what we’re doing and how to connect.
The organizations included are businesses, government entities, public agencies, non-profits, faith-based organizations and academic institutions that are in some way addressing climate-related issues and designing and building pathways to ecologically sustainable, economically vibrant, and socially just communities for all.
Collectively, these organizations represent important stakeholder constituencies in our regional effort to address the climate emergency in a wide range of topics such as sea level rise, impact mitigation, our solid waste crisis, the just transition to a fossil-fuel free economy and so many others.
