Regional Climate Collaborative Cohort (RC3)

No Longer Offering This Cohort

This 12-month curated guide of ICLEI’s five pathways: low emission, resilient, circular, nature-based, and equitable is an introduction to holistic climate and sustainability programming for organizations leading or interested in leading a Regional Climate Collaborative (RCC) of cities and counties working together towards regional strategies.

Participating RCCs will designate a lead person to represent them in the cohort and attend all sessions. Additionally, up to three individuals per RCC can join individual cohort sessions – for a total of 45 participants maximum in any one session.

At the conclusion of the cohort, each RCC will have completed a Roadmap, which will serve as their work plan to engage local governments in collective action.
