City scale climate planning
SCC supports local climate planning at multiple scales. We work directly with municipal governments, support neighborhood scale projects, collaborate with State governments to build resources and tools that accelerate local climate action, and provide national research and technical assistance to facilitate the adoption of climate action best practices.
Facilitation, engagement, and collaborative governance
SCC specializes in holding space for transformation. This includes conversation and process facilitation, designing and implementing equitable community outreach and engagement, and leading collaborative governance processes between municipal government and community groups.
Climate smart land use
SCC works with clients to conduct comprehensive reviews of their local regulations, bylaws, and ordinances to identify opportunities to better support people and ecosystems through climate resilient and restorative land use practices.
Climate action plan implementation
The measure of a successful plan is how much it guides material change that benefits people and the planet. SCC has expertise in climate planning in a way that generates useful, practical work plans that enables clients to effectively move from planning to implementation.
Synthesizing and sharing best practices
SCC is experienced in utilizing qualitative and quantitative research methods to understand trends in the field of urban sustainability. SCC distills and communicates about high-impact practices and trends to diverse stakeholders and audiences.
Exploring just climate urbanisms
Through research, writing, and collaboration, Peyton explores the material ways cities can create more just, climate resilient, and decarbonized communities. This includes explorations of land governance in the context of climate change including community-based land governance, inadequacy of the private/public property duality, and reparative spatial futures. In May 2023, she completed her masters thesis which is one node of this work (Just climate urbansims: Aligning U.S. municipal policy with national movements for climate justice).
