This task force is concerned with boosting awareness of Evanston’s climate action plan and communicating ECAP strategies to the Evanston community via a CGE button and poster campaign, themed information campaigns, and outreach to the Evanston community’s three main audiences: individual citizens, private businesses (and not-for-profits), and institutions. (Evanston’s ‘Big Six’ institutions are School Districts 65 and 202; NorthShore University HealthSystem and St. Francis Hospitals; the City of Evanston; and Northwestern University.)

Outreach & Communication is currently focusing on:

• Development and implementation of a multi-year communications plan, including advertising
• Encouraging use of the Zerofootprint Evanston carbon calculator
• Initiating and coordinating outreach to ‘Big 6’
• Maintaining CGE web site (including monthly newsletter)
• Encouraging press coverage of CGE efforts
