Deriving Community Benefits from Climate Investments: Gathering Inspiration from California Place-Based Programs

California is embarking on significant new energy infrastructure development, including in the development of offshore wind and solar, to increase its clean energy capacity and meet its climate change and clean electricity goals. As California prepares to deliver these projects, there is an opportunity to ensure that development uplifts host communities, and those nearby, through community benefits.

CLEE’s December forum will highlight and share examples of place-based, community-led collaboration and investment in California to inform developing discussions on community benefits in the context of California offshore wind and other climate projects in California. The webinar will lift up examples of community coalition building, development of community vision and priorities, and implementation and oversight through such California programs as Transformative Climate Communities (TCC), among others.
