Pilot Regions
Innovation and Economic Development Showcases for Moving Society to a Carbon-Free Future
Through PILOT REGIONS around the country, Climate Prosperity, Inc. is showcasing how innovation and
economic development can move our society to a carbon-free future. The pilot regions are:
- Silicon Valley / San Jose, California
- Portland, Oregon
- St. Louis, Missouri
- Denver, Colorado
In each pilot area, we are engaging key players in regional economic development, including businesses, civic groups,
entrepreneurs, and educators to create regional Climate Prosperity Strategies. We will support the regions as they implement
their strategies, and we will spread their best practices to other parts of the country. We expect and hope there will be
many other pilot projects in coming months.
