Partners include the UCSD Center on Global Justice, the UCSD Center for Energy Research, the community-based environmental non-profit Groundwork San Diego, the San Diego Unified School District, San Diego Gas & Electric, and the City for San Diego Planning Department. The project includes a substantial civic engagement and environmental education focus, including the development and application of an innovative climate attitude and behavior survey, coordinated by the UCSD Center on Global Justice.
