Participation by a wide variety of stakeholders is essential to the success of the Community Air Protection Program. This type of collaboration requires productive, targeted, and continuous community outreach and engagement.
The below resources are designed to support meaningful community engagement among government agencies, community members, and other stakeholders. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list, but a helpful starting point for those interested in air quality and community engagement strategies. This list will be refined and updated as new resources become available.
Some of the links below lead to non-CARB resources, but provide information that may be helpful to individuals interested in community engagement strategies. CARB cannot attest to the accuracy of these sites, and linking to a non-CARB site does not constitute an endorsement by CARB or any of its staff.
