Regional Climate Action Road Map and Tool Kit
To build a common vision for the work to be done, SHV has coordinated the creation of a Regional Climate Action Road Map and Tool Kit. Involving over 90 experts and advocates, the Road Map identifies a series of key projects to remove barriers and lay the groundwork for a carbon-free, regenerative economy. SHV is now helping to activate these projects.
