On May 14th, Community Energy Association (CEA) and the BC Municipal Climate Leadership Council (BCMCLC) hosted an online dialogue called The Opportunity of Here and Now: Local Governments and a Green Recovery.
The online dialogue was a forum for local government elected officials, staff and others to discuss the opportunities for leveraging local climate action for a green recovery. CEA is developing a supplement to the BC Climate Leaders Playbook that highlights several action areas that contribute to economic recovery while supporting bold climate action, improving equity, health, and resilience.

CEA has created a follow-up survey. The purpose of this follow-up survey is to gather feedback on the dialogue and provide a further opportunity for sharing ideas on the action areas. We welcome responses from participants in the online dialogue and others who did not attend.
