OAKLAND COUNTY
CAN BE A CLIMATE LEADER
THE PLATFORM

Lead on Climate
Oakland County should join governments around the world pledging to curb climate
change: End emissions by county operations by 2030, end emissions county-wide by 2050, and
create a Sustainability Office to lead the effort to reach these goals and make our county
sustainable for all of us and for future generations.

Lead on Justice
Environmental damage falls heaviest on poor and minority communities. Oakland
County needs to protect the vulnerable from climate and other environmental calamities: upgrade
water and sanitation, support affordable clean transit and affordable clean energy in our
communities. And protect voting, so our people can protect themselves and their future.

Lead on Jobs
The climate transition ahead will create the opportunity for new jobs, with changes in
every industry. Oakland County can help lead on good green jobs and businesses that will be
here for the future – jobs and businesses that will make our future work.

VOLUNTEER
Our movement is volunteer-driven. We're building grassroots teams in every city and district in Oakland County. Together, we are creating a viable path towards a livable planet for our children and grandchildren. We always need new volunteers to help give presentations to their churches, communities, and neighbors. We also need people to meet with their elected officials.
