The Bay Area Climate Change Council (BACCC) is a collective impact initiative of 14 community leaders working to accelerate climate action in the Burlington-Hamilton, "Bay Area" region.
To reach net zero by 2050, BACCC is working with partners to advocate and support smart policies and projects that will cut carbon emissions and support the transition to thriving and resilient net-zero carbon communities by 2050. To achieve this, BACCC convenes working groups called implementation teams (BACCITs) that work to identify and remove barriers to decarbonization. In , the focus will be primarily on addressing barriers and accelerating action on low-carbon, high-performance buildings, and exploring opportunities to support the growth of abundant, clean energy resources to support decarbonization of industry, buildings, and transportation in the Bay Area.
