About this organization
Mission
Sierra Business Council pioneers and demonstrates innovative approaches and solutions to increase community vitality, economic prosperity, environmental quality, and social fairness in the Sierra Nevada.
About
Climate and energy: in 2018 SBC worked with numerous communities developing greenhouse gas inventories; energy action plans; climate action plans; regional climate adaptation and mitigation strategies; and incorporating Sierra Nevada goals into state policies related to climate, water and fire. Our energy services projects work directly with Sierra businesses and local governments, linking sustainable economies to thriving communities through energy efficiency retrofits, green house gas emission inventories, and climate action planning. SBC also significantly ramped up its climate adaptation programs directed at mitigating the risk of wildfire in the region by developing new sources of private funding to underwrite the cost of ecological forest restoration. Primary focus has been on the development of biomass energy, value added wood products, and scalable forest restoration policy. SBC also hosted the Sierra climate adaptation and mitigation partnership, a collaborative project with the governors office of planning and research and the alliance of regional collaboratives for climate adaptation with more than 40 local partners focused on preparing the region for climate change.
