The Climate Protection Manual for Cities was developed by Natural
Capitalism Solutions as a tool for Local Governments.
Cities looking for resources to initiate a climate action plan are faced with surveying hundreds
of different organizations and their web sites or scouring other cities resources to find what they are
doing, frequently hidden within city budgets under indirect line items. This Climate Protection Manual
for Cities is collaborative, collecting the disparate case studies, best practices, cost/benefit analyses,
legislation, technical descriptions and contacts to facilitate Climate action planning and implementation.
The manual will be free to use, open to the public enabling climate protection advocates and implementers
to access data, articles and each other.
