Partner Resources
As part of the Climate Wise commitment to improving service to partners, we have developed new tools to help!
Climate Wise Partner Forum - Hosted on Google Groups, for Climate Wise partners and associated technical staff only (to avoid spam and unrelated topics). This email list and searchable forum allows for ongoing technical exchange, sharing of best practices, and sharing of announcements. Visit the site for more information and sign up for the list.
Climate Wise logo graphics (1.5 mb zip file) and Climate Wise partner level graphics (1.5 mb zip file) - Use Climate Wise graphics to publicize your membership in the Climate Wise program on your website or in newsletters, etc. Zip files contain web-ready and postscript graphics.
