WELCOME CIVIC LEADERS No one ever ran for city council, county commissioner, or mayor to solve climate change, but its challenges are now present in our communities — along with opportunities to solve them. Meaningful local climate solutions are within reach. This guide will provide you with the ideas and resources to act. By embedding local solutions in your planning and management activities, you can achieve financial benefits with little or no incremental costs. Reinvesting savings in additional climate action steps can help build the momentum further. Addressing climate change at the local level provides many benefits, including: • Creating healthier communities for all residents • Protecting vulnerable residents and communities • Saving money by cutting waste and promoting local renewables • Spurring economic vitality and business investments • Building property values and improving public safety • Restoring natural assets that can protect from climate impacts This guide is for civic leaders in smaller and mid-size communities that want to lead on climate and sustainability but may lack full-time sustainability staff. We are teaming up to provide you with these resources, including guidance on how to best engage your residents using clear, positive, inclusive and relevant messages. This is just the start. Sign up for the monthly newsletter at PathToPositive.org to get fresh ideas and resources regularly, including webinars and more detailed guides. And please share your thoughts and ideas with any of us so we can improve these resources. Sincerely,
