Regional Initiatives
Collaborative actions by jurisdictions at the regional scale are often critical to the advancement of markets that are larger than state or local borders, for investment commitments where critical mass is needed at program scale, and where other regional synergies for policy action exist.
CCS has supported multi state and provincial actions, as well as aggregations of local government, to enable market and policy development and implementation. This is done through assessment, planning, consensus building, program development, capacity building, financing, and technical education. CCS support to partners in North America includes:
- The Southern Governors Association: Governor Tim Kaine’s Regional Climate Change Initiative
