Report: Changing the Game: Community-Based Strategies and Climate Mitigation
Drawing on 15 case studies across the U.S. and Canada and interviews with more than 40 climate experts, a new report from the Redstone Strategy Group looks at the carbon mitigation impacts of community-based climate work. The report cites specific examples to demonstrate how community-based strategies can have a large impact. Strategies examined include state and local legislation; renewable energy development; supply-side campaigns; and implementation efforts.
Overall, the report offers solid evidence supporting community-based climate projects, with many of the profiled projects mitigating between 1–8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030. Additionally, these strategies are cost efficient, scalable, and contribute to greater community investment.
