MCL’s Issue Committees
The majority of MCL’s environmental policy advocacy work is accomplished through our issue committees. Monthly meetings are held in-person/Zoom hybrid format and are open to the public. All are welcome to attend and participate in MCL’s advocacy work. Your participation brings fresh energy and perspectives. See MCL’s calendar for upcoming Issues Committee meetings.
Land Use, Transportation, & Water Committee (LUTW)
The Land Use, Transportation, & Water Committee focuses on the planning and policy decisions that shape how Marin grows, moves, and manages its natural resources. The committee engages with issues including housing, transportation, water supply, environmental review, and infrastructure planning, advocating for responsible development and long-term environmental sustainability across the county.
Parks and Open Space Committee (POSC)
The Parks & Open Space Committee focuses on the protection, stewardship, and long-term resilience of Marin’s parks, public lands, and natural ecosystems. The committee engages with issues including habitat protection, wildfire resilience, biodiversity, recreation, and public land management, while advocating for science-based stewardship and thoughtful planning across Marin’s open spaces.
Climate Action Working Group (CAWG)
The Climate Action Working Group focuses on the policies, infrastructure, and public investments needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare Marin for a changing climate. The group engages with issues including building electrification, clean energy, transportation emissions, sea level rise, and regional climate accountability, while advocating for practical and effective climate solutions at the local and regional level.
