Davisville, Jan. 20, 2025: How to create realistic climate plans

Mon, 01/20/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Charging an electric car at home in Davis.JPG

So — climate change. How do you come up with a plan that actually makes a significant difference, and that people will follow? Maybe even want to follow? For Davis and Yolo County, but really, for any city, any county.

Our guest today, Richard McCann, has some ideas about this. He’s a Davis energy consultant and founding partner of M.Cubed Consulting. On Feb. 9, he’ll talk in Davis about “effective local climate actions” — including why plans at the levels of local government “seem to hit a pause when they need to jump into action.” The reasons include wishful thinking about how people will participate.

(The photo shows an electric car about to get charged in a Davis home.)
