This spreadsheet tool is designed to work with SEEC's online inventory and climate action planning tools. It will allow you to take outputs from your GHG inventory and perform a detailed business-as-usual forecast, and it is specifically tailored to account for state-level actions that will influence your business-as-usual emissions. Outputs from the Forecast Assistant can be easily transferred to forecast and action planning modules in the SEEC online tool suite.
Get this essential companion for an explanation of the tool's accounting principles and best practices for performing a GHG emissions forecast, common reference values for performing a forecast, and documentation of source material used in the tool.
Download ICLEI's guide to conducting a forecast and setting GHG targets that reflect climate science and align with your existing goals.
Get this guide to learn how to select a planning process, develop and assemble plan strategies, and release to the public.
This powerful, all-in-one suite of online tools can help you calculate and choose targeted, cost-effective measures for your climate action or energy plan, in addition to assisting you with your community-scale GHG inventory.
Read an overview of the core action planning principals to allow you to overcome the significant methodological challenge of projecting GHG emissions reductions into the future. This guide then showcases the climate action planning features in the Suite and how they can be applied to put theory into practice and allow you to perform best-in-class climate action planning with internal staff resources.
Speed the development your climate action plan (CAP) by customizing this template of a complete CAP, tailored for California local governments. Includes customizable charts and graphs as well.
This sample plan for a fictitious California city is a visual representation of the guidance and best practices identified by ICLEI as key for any climate action plan. In combination with the tools and guidance created through the SEEC project, this document aims to assist local government staff in authoring their own Climate Action Plan documents. It provides an example of a Climate Action Plan that was developed using the SEEC Climate Action Plan Template, and data generated using the upcoming SEEC Climate Action Planning Assistant (CAPA) tool.
This Resource Guide provides local planning officials with information on implementing a small set of critical measures relating to energy efficiency in community design. These measures can be applied relatively quickly to new projects ahead of general plan or climate action plan processes. The Resource Guide attempts to fill the gap between the types of measures typically suggested and the information planners need to implement them.
