Advocating for clean energy and climate change solutions in Wisconsin.
Local governments offer unique perspectives on the threats and challenges that climate change poses to our communities. Together, we can remove barriers and advance local climate change solutions in Wisconsin.
Our Mission
The Coalition provides a platform for members to collaborate on overcoming barriers to decarbonization, accelerating local climate change solutions, and ensuring the benefits of the clean energy economy are distributed to everyone throughout the state.
