BC Municipal Climate Leadership Council

BCMCLC brings together any and all locally elected officials interested in accelerating the implementation of low-carbon solutions in their community. CEA facilitates the Council with guidance from a steering committee composed of elected officials from every region of BC. Network meeting topics and content will focus on networking, information sharing, and how high-impact projects in a community or region can be adapted successfully in other communities. The goal is to share and replicate outcomes, not effort.
