Local leaders in Seattle & King County are stepping up climate action with measurable goals, from cutting emissions to expanding transit and protecting frontline neighborhoods. 🌍🚍 #LocalClimateAction

Big local moves in Oak Park: the Village Board approved a comprehensive bike plan, cancelled the Flock Safety license-plate camera contract, and passed a 2026 budget that keeps funding energy-efficiency grants. 🚴‍♂️⚡️ @derekeder.com #LocalClimateAction #ClimatePolicy

Colorado ski season could be several weeks shorter by 2050 as climate warms “While I don’t think that we should imminently be concerned about the existence of our ski industry … the quality of the skiing is slowly deteriorating,” CU Boulder Professor Noah Molotch says.

From fewer runs open to fewer visitors, Colorado’s ski communities are experiencing climate impacts this winter ❄️

Local action and policy are essential to protect these places🌲

Locally, we don’t control federal energy policy, but we can influence what gets built in our backyards.

Think: zoning for data centers, utility resource plans, and city climate commitments. 🏭🏗️ #LocalClimateAction

Regenerative farming benefits you and the planet, a UW study says. In Carlton, the proof is Inn the Ground Tabula Rasa Farms and its bed and breakfast, Inn the Ground, combine agritourism and regenerative farming.

Regenerative farming at Tabula Rasa Farms is MORE than sustainable agriculture; it’s restoring soil, water, & ecosystems while producing food that benefits people and the planet 🌱

Local climate action starts with healthy land & healthy communities 🌟 #LocalClimateAction

This strategy from the 1980s can provide a framework for important actions today! By strengthening existing laws and gathering more cities for the “blue wall”, local governments can have a massive impact on the health of our oceans and on our future fossil fuel use. 🌊🪸 #LocalClimateAction

I just received a survey related to food waste in #YYC. Didn’t consider that a campaign regarding food waste could circumvent the petroleum freedumb caucus of the Smith UCP. #LocalClimateAction

Even when federal policies create barriers, local action keeps moving us forward. Community solar + local leadership = lower bills, cleaner air, and real climate solutions where families need them most. 🌱⚡ #localclimateaction #localclimate #climateactionnow @climatecabinet.org

Myth: “Real climate change action can only happen at the national level.”
