The City of Ashland can learn from the experience of others, and a larger, unified coalition can be more powerful. This strategy involves coordinating with other local governments that have set ambitious climate targets, such as Eugene, Portland, Seattle, and Fort Collins, to learn from their experiences, share best practices, and together advocate for broader regional, state, and national action and leadership. CC-4-1. Engage with other governments and organizations around regional, statewide, national, and international climate policy and action. Ashland should continue to collaborate with neighboring cities to share information and foster coordinated and unified action. The City should lead and pursue a partnership model, such as the King County-Cities Climate Collab - oration in Washington State, to coordinate and enhance the effectiveness of local government climate and sustainability action within its region.
