Uniting the Central Coast for Action (UCCA) is a flagship program of the SLO Climate Coalition working in partnership with Romero Institute’s Let’s Green CA initiative.
Individuals and environmental organizations in the five counties served by Central Coast Community Energy have formed a regional partnership. Together, we assess the needs of the area and collaborate on educational and advocacy opportunities. Together, with common purpose, we amplify our voice calling for impactful climate action.
