The North Carolina Sierra Club’s successful Cool Cities program works to get local governments across the state to take action in the fight against global warming. Based on the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, cities and counties are committing to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions levels 7% by 2012 from their 1990 levels. We hope that this will help reduce the negative impact caused by federal inaction on the critical issue of climate change. The Cool Cities program is inherently local. While it commits cities to specific goals, it does not commit them to specific actions. That means that every individual community can come up with initiatives most appropriate to their size and location. The many Cool Cities currently in North Carolina range from Oak City and its 362 residents to Raleigh, which has a population of over 350,000. As of October 2007 there are 31 Cool Cities in the state. The North Carolina Sierra Club recently released a Best Practices Report to what the Cool Cities across the state are doing to reach their goals. You can read the report here.
