• Sustainable Cleveland: City-focused sustainability initiative convening residents and stakeholders around climate and sustainability action. Closely matches Sustainable Claremont's community-led, multi-stakeholder sustainability framework.
• Sustainable DC: District of Columbia sustainability initiative engaging residents and local government around climate, equity, and economic sustainability goals. Mirrors Sustainable Claremont's mission and policy-advocacy posture.
• Sustainable Seattle: Community-based sustainability nonprofit producing research, convening events, and advocating for sustainable practices in Seattle. Comparable hybrid education/advocacy model to Sustainable Claremont.
