Resilient, Together: FloodWise Communities Learn & Do Cohorts
Climate projections for many parts of the U.S. indicate that heavy rainfall and flooding are becoming more frequent and intense. Municipal stormwater systems are critical for managing these flows to protect water supply and system integrity, water quality, and public health and safety. Climate-related precipitation changes will strain these systems, which are often in need […]
John Hopkins University
ICLEI USA provided technical assistance to students using the ClearPath Climate Planner tool to create community-wide or local government operations inventories. Through virtual presentations and office hours, our staff ensured students’ inventories adhered to the U.S. Community Protocol and Local Government Operations Protocol and accurately represented emissions for their respective community or local government.

Audubon Florida Local Government Operations Greenhouse Gas Inventory Cohort 2022
Municipalities and counties in the Tampa Bay, Florida Region are looking to improve Climate Action Planning efforts. However, many Florida municipalities are not yet prepared to undertake community-wide efforts. Many prefer to start at the local government level. This cohort introduced participating communities to the local government operations inventory and prepared them for the next […]
Indiana University 2022 Resilience Cohort
Building on the success of last year’s greenhouse gas inventory cohort, the Indiana University Environmental Resilience Institute (ERI) desires to partner on a Climate Action Plan (CAP) learn / do cohort session. Last year’s Indiana University Cohort led communities through the creation of Greenhouse Gas inventories. To take the process one step further, communities wanted […]
Forest and Trees Carbon Accounting Cohort 2022
In April 2021, the United States released an updated Nationally Determined Contributionthat emphasized the role forests and urban trees play in meeting that goal by 2030. Local governments have unique policy tools available to implement tree-based climate strategies. Most Community-wide inventories include the basic emissions for daily life, such as energy usage, transportation and waste, […]
Pennsylvania Local Climate Action Planning Cohort 2020-2022
Many local governments in the state of Pennsylvania do not have baseline measurements of their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions nor the plans to act on that information. Pennsylvania is one of the highest GHG emissions emitting states and the impact of many local governments coming together to conduct climate action plans could have a significant […]

Indiana University Resilience Cohort
The 2021 Indiana University Resilience Cohort brought together local government staff and partners to advance local capacity and produce greenhouse gas inventories for the participating local governments. Participants learned how to collect data and analyze emissions for their respective communities. This inventory serves as the foundation for future emissions mitigation strategies “The Fountain” by Dottie […]
Forest & Trees Carbon Accounting Member Cohort
In the United States, forests and trees offset 13% of emissions; with improved conservation, restoration and land management, that number could jump to 21%. In April 2021, the United States released an updated Nationally Determined Contribution that emphasized the role forests and urban trees play in meeting that goal by 2030. Local governments have […]
