Green Community Catalysts’ mission is to accelerate climate action on the community level.
We believe building awareness and working collaboratively (not in silos) is critical to achieving this.
Therefore, we started the Localized Climate Action Initiative.

It’s a call for participation from everyone interested in and/or working on climate action (adaptation or mitigation) at the local level. We hope to collect information from climate-focused, community-based organizations, municipalities and individuals with an interest in sustainability and climate-change.

Knowing who the “players” are on the local level, what their missions are, and the challenges they are having will be identified for the purposes of overall awareness, support and potential collaboration.

Our goal is to create a comprehensive database (and future map) of community-level players involved in this work. This will be useful for many including: individuals and philanthropists looking to support community-level organizations; those of us in the field looking for partners and collaborators; and, state and municipal level planners. Nothing similar currently exists.

Secondarily, we want to better understand common barriers and needs, and ultimately to strategize how and where resources should be directed. Especially, when regions and communities lacking support (i.e., “climate resource deserts”) are identified.

Green Community Catalysts is hoping to collaborate, with those of you that are interested, in applying what we learn for the greatest impact for communities nation-wide.
