The 16th Annual CCEC Forum, themed “Hope in Action: Local Leads the Way,” will spotlight the critical role of local leadership in shaping a sustainable future amidst an uncertain climate landscape. With the urgency of the climate crisis growing and the growing clarity that it is local action that will lead the way, this two-day event will convene local and regional governments, State agencies, community-based organizations (CBOs), nonprofits, and private sector leaders to explore bold, actionable solutions. By showcasing how grassroots initiatives and regional collaborations are driving innovation and equity, the forum underscores the importance of local action as the cornerstone of climate resilience and progress.

This call for session proposals will help ensure that the forum will feature engaging sessions and new innovative activities to help climate and energy leaders and practitioners connect to learn about innovative projects and strategies, share best practices, and troubleshoot challenges.
