Editor's Notes
- Public private endeavor Purpose: The Climate Collaborative is a San Diego regional forum for public agencies to share expertise and leverage resources to facilitate climate action planning. By partnering with academia, non-profit organizations, and business and community leaders, these agencies work to inspire regional leadership and ensure a vibrant economy and healthy environment. We do this to: Address and prevent the harmful effects of climate change; Promote a high quality of life for the San Diego region; and Foster a green and growing economy Objectives Showcase the region's energy efficiency and sustainability leadership Reduce regional greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for local climate change impacts Facilitate the design and implementation of robust climate action plans Link regional efforts together and pursue joint programs and projects Communicate progress on climate action planning implementation efforts Provide opportunities to engage and connect diverse stakeholders Help build internal capacity within public agencies through networking, training and leveraging resources Lessons learned – we realize the need to be recognized for all the work we’re doing in this region We’re lucky to have a great working relationship on with the LGs as well as with orgs like USD, SDGE, TSDF, CleanTECH, etc. which is resulting in great advancement in climate change issues. Having an overarching brand gives us a voice in bigger discussions (state/fed level) and hopefully presents us as a good investment for funding Successes – need to engage private sector as well as public (fed, state, local). We can do more. Barriers – complexity of issues (consider how complex the issue is for insurance, and that is just one issue) – ex. understanding science, comprehending a long-term planning horizon, concerns with impacts to business, funding (and staff availability) for ongoing efforts
