Researching & Supporting Legislation
The CEMTF has been instrumental in researching and supporting replicable legislation for the Bay Area. In addition to the Climate Emergency Declaration in Berkeley that helped to kick start the region’s climate emergency initiative. We’ve also worked to support and sign-on to other local legislative efforts including:
• The New Building Gas Ban/Electrification Ordinance
(Passed in Berkeley. Recently adopted in San Francisco. Under review in other cities.)
• One World One Resolution
(Currently in the Policy Committee in Berkeley)
Our legislation sub-committee works on identifying opportunities to get members involved in writing and supporting legislation.
