Over the past year, Councils of Government (COGs) across Connecticut and the Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) have developed Priority Climate Action Plans (PCAPs) to establish near-term, implementation-ready measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program. We are currently drafting more detailed Comprehensive Climate Action Plans (CCAPs) that will help form foundational policies to minimize and mitigate Connecticut’s GHG emissions.

This forum is focused on the essential work of moving from plans to reality by developing realistic pathways for implementation. Given the sheer scale of the challenge, it’s critical to work together and understand our shared roles and responsibilities for addressing climate change.

The ColleCTive Climate Action Forum will convene public and private sector experts and community-based organizations to identify opportunities for multisector coordination while working to create a more sustainable Connecticut. Notetakers will record input from attendees throughout the event and identify opportunities to incorporate those suggestions into the plans.

Keynote Speakers:
• Brian Garcia, President & CEO (CT Green Bank)
• Rebecca French, Director of Office of Climate Planning (CT DEEP)
