Last Saturday, more than 250 people came together for CEC’s Green Gala: Rooted in Hope — a celebration of the people, partnerships and practical climate solutions shaping the future of the Central Coast.
Our community is at the heart of CEC’s climate work. As we look ahead, we want our work to reflect what matters most to Central Coast residents and create more accessible ways for everyone to get involved in climate action.
This short survey will help us better understand what our community cares about, needs, and wants to see more of from CEC. Your feedback helps us:
At the Community Environmental Council (CEC), we believe effective climate action is best informed by the people and communities we serve and protect. Your perspective can help us better understand what matters most to our community and ensure CEC’s work continues to meet the needs of Central Coast residents.
On September 15, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to approve amendments to the Land Use and Development Code (LUDC) and Coastal Zoning Ordinance (CZO) that prohibit new onshore oil and gas wells countywide. This marks a major milestone for public health, environmental protection, and climate action in Santa Barbara and affirms that local governments can lead when federal protections fall short.
If working in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, surrounded by climate changemakers, passionate board members and mission-driven organizations sounds like your kind of workplace, CEC may have the opportunity for you. We’re hiring an Office Manager & Board Liaison to play a central role in the day-to-day life of our organization and office.
