Public/private partnerships via "ideas competition"

Summary

While Berkeley has made significant strides in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions (by approximately 9 percent since 2000), we must advance existing and planned initiatives and identify new strategies at the State, regional, and local levels in order to meet our ambitious Climate Action Plan goals. To identify new ideas and innovations and to foster public/private partnerships, the City is developing an “Ideas Competition,” which will engage experts, entrepreneurs, and other interested stakeholders to help the City to develop additional, viable multi-benefit emissions-reduction strategies.
