COME TOGETHER!
It's the decade of climate action and it's time to Bring It Home - for your community, for the planet, for the future.
*UPDATE*
We are excited to come together with elected leaders from across BC to learn and explore how to accelerate local climate action. Given the evolving severity of the omicron COVID-19 variant, we have made the decision to pivot away from gathering in person in February, as was the original intention.
Please stay tuned as we regroup and come up with a strategy to keep this important work moving forward while still navigating health and safety priorities.

What is the Climate Leaders Institute?
CLI is a unique opportunity for BC local elected officials to come together for peer mentorship, support, tools, and inspiration on accelerating climate action in your community. We use a combination of small break out groups and presentations to ensure participants are able to learn new skills and strategies and apply them. All content at CLI is designed and delivered by colleagues, leading professionals and inspirational speakers. The last CLI in 2019 was sold out.
The 2022 Program
We are reevaluating how best to bring this important programming to BC elected officials in light of the evolving COVID-19 situation.
Please check back or email us at BCMCLC@communityenergy.bc.ca to be alerted when delivery plans are confirmed.
What makes CLI unique?
Small working groups to workshop ideas and actions
Opportunity to work with peers and deep dive into how strategies could work in your community
Peer-to-peer mentorship and learning
Build relationships to support your climate leadership journey
