COMMUNITY EVENTS

CONNECTING GLOBAL TO LOCAL

Connecting Global to Local (CG2L) is an initiative of Citizens for Global Solutions that aims to make the connection between global issues and local concerns in communities across the United States. CG2L helps mobilize voices that support a more cooperative and engaged U.S. role in the world.

Overcoming today's energy challenges will require both local and global action. Individuals, communities and nations must come together if we are to develop solutions that work.

The Connecting to Global to Local Initiative will help us engage communities across the country in a dialogue about the future of energy policy, building support for our energy vision. Come, join the conversation!
