SEEC is a collaboration created and implemented by the following nonprofits and utilities:
The collaborative is designed to build upon the unique resources, expertise and local agency relationships of each nonprofit organization, as well as those of the four investor-owned utilities. Read more below about each SEEC partner.
This program is funded by California utility customers and administered by Southern California Gas Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, Pacific Gas & Electric Company and Southern California Edison Company, under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission.
ICLEI USA is a nonprofit membership association of cities and counties committed to climate protection, clean energy, and sustainability. More than 1,000 local governments worldwide are members. ICLEI USA’s mission is to build, serve, and drive a movement of local governments to advance deep reductions in greenhouse emissions and achieve tangible improvements in local sustainability.
With SEEC, ICLEI will conduct a series of workshops and trainings for local governments on taking key steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including:
- Conducting a local government operations inventory
- Conducting a community-wide inventory
- Developing an emissions reduction target
- Developing and implementing a climate action plan
ICLEI will also develop and deliver a suite of resources to help local governments implement energy efficiency measures and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The suite will be developed around ICLEI’s Five Milestones for Climate Mitigation, which provides a systematic framework for analyzing GHG emissions, developing a reduction target, developing and implementing a climate action plan, and monitoring implementation.

Institute for Local Government (ILG) is the nonprofit research affiliate of the League of California Cities and the California State Association (CCAN). ILG’s California Climate Action Network provides resources, networking and recognition for cities and counties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save energy. CCAN’s Beacon Award: Local Leadership toward Solving Climate Change recognizes and celebrates cities and counties that:
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy use
- Adopt policies and programs to address climate change
- Promote sustainability
Participating in the Beacon Award lets local agencies receive positive recognition for saving energy, conserving resources, promoting sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It lets cities and counties shine a bright light on their accomplishments for their residents, colleagues and others.
