New: Sustainable Communities Learning Network

The Sustainable Communities Learning Network helps local officials and staff access and share resources and tools that encourage their communities to consider and apply economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable practices. It is a project of the Institute for Local Government in partnership with the Information Center for the Environment at the University of California, Davis with support from the Strategic Growth Council and The California Endowment.

The Learning Network:

·         Facilitates peer-to-peer learning, sharing of real-world examples between local officials and others engaged in sustainability efforts

·         Provides access to best practices, tools, and resources

·         Offers opportunities to be recognized as a leader in sustainability

The Sustainable Communities Learning Network is currently in the development stage.  They envision a user-driven learning platform, with opportunities to connect with experts in various sustainability best practices areas.
