Take Action

Take Action

Every community has unique circumstances and aspirations. The four categories of action that are presented in this section are applicable to most communities.   The CEA Funding Guide may help your local government find financial support for these actions.

Build To Zero

Build to Zero, a project of the Community Energy Association, aims to accelerate local government adoption of policy, planning and regulatory measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from new and existing buildings, community-wide.
