Stand Together On Climate! The Future Belongs To Everyone!
We are a collaboration of community members, city leaders, organizations, artists, and businesses who strive to live sustainably. We work closely with the City, the County and other community partners to set goals and act together to implement our local Climate Action and Resilience Goals.
Cool Davis works primarily with households, neighborhoods and organizations. Since its founding, Cool Davis has engaged thousands of households in active greenhouse gas reductions through our rooftop solar, home energy efficiency, electric vehicle, and Cool Solutions campaigns. We partner with members of our Coalition as well as local businesses and community institutions to host popular public events, including talks, workshops, ride and drives, showcases, festivals, film screenings, panels, and educational forums.
In the last year we have renewed our mission and completed a strategic plan calling us forward to:
Recenter the organization - implementing equity and inclusion strategies and resources into all aspects of Cool Davis as an organization in existing and new programs, all our governance structures, staffing and volunteer corps. Fully implement stipends for planning and program participation, update and renew culturally appropriate materials and on line tools website, engage in collaborative conversations with special populations within program areas including seniors, youth, vulnerable populations, cultural communities and rental households.
Strengthen our internal systems and external relationships preparing to respond to new partnerships and requests for services, ensuring risk management, and the scaling and enhancing HR systems for staff and volunteer management as well as updating of database, website and other tech and communications tools to reflect our strategic direction and to better integrate program management to improve program management & reporting, volunteer management and fundraising, donor relations and grant management tools.
Respond to the calls for expansion of our programs engaging in & planning the work in and beyond Davis to deliver Home Energy Make A Plan activities, transportation and other program activities and resilience initiatives within our new Climate Ready Neighborhoods framework. Planning includes conversations with partners, leaders and community groups, planning activities like surveys and focus groups, database design and development for asset mapping.
By Standing Together on Climate we can create enduring community resilience through equitable and inclusive strategies that lower greenhouse gas emissions and help our region adapt to a changing climate. We are dedicated to better understanding and meeting the needs of the whole community, to contribute to a strong and resilient neighborhoods, and to inspire everyone to act!
As we move forward, we must all act for the people in our community and around the world who do not have the voice or resources to act but share an even greater portion of the risk. Together we can transform our lifestyles for the future of our children, our communities, and our planet.
