Priority Area: Climate Action
Barrier: Transitioning to Implementation

Challenge/Local/State

Description

Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Community Program Implementation )

Local governments should work through counties, COGs, and regional climate authorities to jointly implement programs, aggregate projects, and coordinate procurement and delivery, enabling shared staffing and systematically documenting successful practices as replicable toolkits so jurisdictions are not solving the same problems independently.

Existing Examples of Progress: 1. San Mateo County’s Regional Integrated Climate Action Planning Support (RICAPS) model 2. Sonoma County RCPA coordinating implementation and grant applications across multiple jurisdictions. 3. The Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments won a Sustainability Merit Award for their Natural and Working Lands Climate Mitigation and Resilience Study. 4. The California Water Institute's FloodMAR initiative demonstrates this in practice, bringing together GSAs, irrigation districts, and flood control agencies across four counties around a shared response strategy rather than siloed agency action.
