Wisconsin Local Government Climate Coalition

About Wisconsin Local Government Climate Coalition

The Wisconsin Local Government Climate Coalition provides a coordinated voice for local governments that are pursuing clean energy and climate change solutions in the state. The Coalition provides a platform for members to collaborate on overcoming barriers to decarbonization, accelerating local climate change solutions and ensuring the benefits of the clean energy economy are distributed to everyone throughout the state. Local governments and elected officials – as both large electricity users and policy making entities -- have a unique perspective on the threats and challenges that climate change poses. Our members have come to understand that climate change poses severe risks to our communities and that we cannot avoid the worst effects of climate change without effective state policy. As we engage collectively in this effort, we will prioritize solutions that recognize the myriad of economic, health and equity benefits associated with climate action in our communities and that meet the needs of our disproportionately affected minority and low-income citizens in our cities and towns.
