The Bay Area Air District is creating the Bay Area Regional Climate Action Plan (BARCAP) to leverage the extensive ongoing climate work being done at the local level across the region. Our team sought to develop strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors of the economy in a way that benefits frontline communities. In this session, we will share tactics used to engage the public and frontline communities across a vast area spanning eight counties, the benefits those communities found of greatest interest, and the regional measures developed in response. Expect to take away a set of useful practices for engaging frontline communities in substantive conversation about the benefits and challenges of climate action. Session attendees will engage in facilitated discussion about how climate action planning can be enhanced by partnering with local residents, CBOs, neighboring cities/counties, and regional entities.
