The Ready for 100 Campaign

Accelerate an equitable transition to 100%

Strategy 1: Make 100% “the new normal” (hearts & minds)

Having read about this idea, do you support or oppose making this a goal for the United States? (1-10 scale)

Strongly support (8-10) Oppose (1-5) Somewhat support (6-7)

Broad and intense support among Americans

Very realistic (8-10) Not realistic (1-5)

And how realistic do you think this goal is? (1-10 scale)

2016 Progress

Guidelines for 100% Clean Energy Communities

1.Efficiency First 2.Equitable and Just 3.Clean and Renewable 4.All Sectors: Electricity, Heating & Cooling, and Transportation 5.Community-Wide 6.Inclusive and Transparent Process 7.Include an Ambitious Target for Local and Distributed Energy

The Ready for 100 Campaign has co- developed a set of principles with the 100% Network to ensure that 100% clean energy is for 100% of people. As we transition to 100% clean energy, there are clear barriers and challenges that must be addressed to ensure 100% is truly for all people. We must advance equitable outcomes in:

• Quality careers
• Just transition
• Equitable access
• Affordable clean energy
• Democratic Accountability

Our Commitment to Equity

Equity: the guarantee of fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement while at the same time striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups. The principle of equity acknowledges that there are historically underserved and underrepresented populations and that fairness regarding these unbalanced conditions is needed to assist equality in the provision of effective opportunities to all groups.
