The City of Riverside, CA - City Government's commitment to sustainability is paying off, attracting major national investment and recognition.

Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson said it best: "These investments are not happening by accident. Riverside has made a deliberate commitment to sustainability, innovation, and building a green technology ecosystem."

At ILG, our Local Climate Action Library (LoCAL) provides a framework for local governments to identify promising sustainability policies that generate multiple co-benefits. The City of Riverside is a perfect example of this framework in action. Check out the framework here ➡️ https://buff.ly/mwIBCcF

ILG was honored to support and participate in the Local Governance Summer Institute at Stanford last week, where we joined The City of South San Francisco – Government's Rich Lee and Tripepi Smith's Jennifer Vaughn for a conversation on authentic community engagement.

From strategies and practical tips, to technology tools, we explored how local agencies can build trust, foster dialogue, and strengthen public participation. This work is at the heart of ILG's mission—and we're proud to share these resources with communities across the state.
