The Clinton Foundation is committed to implementing programs that create and advance solutions to the root causes of climate change — while also helping to reduce our reliance on oil, saving money for individuals and governments, creating jobs, and growing economies. As part of the Foundation’s Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI), the Climate Positive Development Program was launched in 2009 to demonstrate that cities can grow and thrive in ways that are environmentally sustainable, economically viable, and climate positive (greenhouse gas emissions reduced below zero). To facilitate these projects, CCI provides project technical support, business and financial analysis, and partnership facilitation.

As members of the Clinton Climate Initiative’s Climate Positive Development Program, the City of Oberlin and Oberlin College have each signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) to reduce Oberlin’s greenhouse gas emissions below zero. The MOU was signed in 2010 and renewed in 2012.
