Planners Energy and Climate Database

This database provides examples of communities that have taken steps to integrate energy and climate change issues into planning, states that have addressed climate change issues in plans or policies, and other relevant documents to help planners understand and address energy and climate change. 

You can search this database by region, state, type of planning tool, topic, time frame, scale, or community size, using the search options in the left-hand column. Results are sorted according to relevance. If you have too many or too few results returned, try narrowing or broadening your search parameters. Resources are regularly being added to this database, so check back periodically to find new resources.

The Planners Energy and Climate Database was developed by APA's Green Communities Research Center, in collaboration with the Environmental and Energy Study Institute, as part of the Planning for a New Energy and Climate Future research project. The database is maintained by APA's Research Department.
