Illinois Cool Cities
During the summer of 2007, Governor Blagojevich signed the Illinois
Cool Cities Act into law. Under the Act, cities that endorse the U.S.
Conference of Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
and implement a plan to meet the reduction goals, will be recognized as “Illinois
Cool Cities.” Other local units
of government may earn recognition as well, e.g., “Illinois Cool Counties.”
If you have any questions regarding the Illinois Cool Cities program, please

reduction plans, see the Illinois Cool Cities
Resource List.
