NACo County Climate Protection Program
The NACo County Climate Protection Program supports counties as they work to have a positive impact in their communities – reducing emissions, benefiting the environment and public health, and saving taxpayer dollars. This new program provides counties with best practices, tools and resources to assist them in developing and implementing successful climate change programs at home. The first step for a county to participate in the program is to adopt a pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a numerical target. Because one size does not fit all, NACo offers counties a pledge template allowing them to select from existing national campaigns with quantifiable targets to reduce global warming, or to establish their own appropriate goal.
