Description

State Solution
(Type of Activity: Policy/Regulation )

Improve consistency, clarity, and accessibility of statewide climate and energy communication. The state should align climate and energy messaging across agencies and fund shared, high-quality communication resources—such as infographics, videos, and visual storytelling—that local governments and CBOs can use for outreach. All materials should be multilingual, plain-language, and culturally grounded, with requirements applied consistently across state-funded programs. To reduce translation burden and improve consistency, the state should also develop a climate language directory with standardized translations of technical terms and plain-language equivalents for agencies and community partners.
