Helpful Learning Opportunities

4CL provides periodic half day workshops on important local policies issues that create sustainable communities and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. All workshops feature Peer-to-Peer discussions and opportunities for local governments to share best practices. All workshop materials are archived on this website. To encourage on-going and up to date action, we also provide a discussion forum and encourage city leaders to comment and share best practices, additional links and resources on these important issues!

Please let us know if you have an idea for a workshop that you’d like us to organize!
