The success of California's energy and climate goals will depend in large part on how well local governments can implement policies to meet them.  The California Sustainability Alliance is working to create and share tools and resources to help local governments advance sustainability within their jurisdictions. These resources give local governments the opportunity to lead by example, positively influence their communities, and leverage local authority.

In the video below, Frank Spasaro, Manager of Energy Efficiency Partnerships for Sempra Utilities, discusses first cost barriers and what financing approaches local governments can take to overcome them.  In the following video, Bridgett Luther, Director for the California Department of Conservation, presents the California Emerald Cities Pilot Program, which directs state resources to help local governments develop sustainability plans and reach state goals.
