Coaching Projects

The BC Municipal Climate Leadership Council (BCMCLC) is composed of leading Mayors and Councillors from across BC representing communities - big and small, north and south, east and west - who are committed to climate action. Since September 2010, BCMCLC members have come together to volunteer to assist locally elected officials to move climate action forward. BCMCLC is facilitated by the Community Energy Association who provide staff support and content expertise to create resources, coach members and organize events like the Climate Leaders Institute.

The Climate Leaders Institute is a two-day workshop expressly designed to help British Columbia mayors, councillors, and regional district directors confidently lead or support bold climate action in their communities. CLI moves beyond a traditional conference setting so participants gain the tools they need to translate their inspiration and political capital into real world, community-specific climate solutions. This is achieved through a combination of small break out groups along with presentations designed and delivered by colleagues, leading professionals and inspirational speakers.
