An important anchor group in several coalitions, the Ministry provides leadership and strategic thinking to a wide network of groups, and in 2013, will continue its capacity-building and leadership development work and engagement on policies ranging from local land-use planning in Fresno to state-level policies on the use of global warming funds.
for support of the Environmental Health Program
Fresno Metro Ministry’s Environmental Health Program seeks to reduce smog-forming and global-warming pollution from land use, transportation, and agricultural sources in California’s San Joaquin Valley. In 2014, it will launch a new program to broaden the effective land use and transportation planning work it has done for many years. This will include recruiting a diverse array of influential advocates for more ambitious emission reduction goals for Fresno County’s Sustainable Community Strategy and Regional Transportation Plan.
