The Climate Equity Policy Center fills the gap between community vision & transformational change.
We help communities navigate the complexities of policy development. We develop model policies and research legal and practical challenges. Our goal is to strengthen communities’ efforts in advocating for and adopting climate policies that support structural change and advance healthy and equitable communities. Learn more about us.
