The Cool Irvine Program is on a mission to educate Irvine communities about the pressing challenges of climate change and empower individuals to make planet-friendly choices.

The Cool Irvine is a program of the nonprofit, Cool OC, which is dedicated to educating communities on climate change and empowering individuals to adopt safe, resilient, and eco-friendly lifestyles within Orange County. Since 2022, our organization has been committed to galvanizing local cities towards carbon neutrality, inspired by the UN Environmental Programme's call to cultivate "cool cities" that mitigate the impacts of climate change. Cool OC takes the initiative to empower residents to be environmentally conscious, socially connected, and well-prepared for disasters. We aim to achieve measurable reductions in carbon emissions and promote climate resilience while prioritizing support for disadvantaged communities, ensuring that all households have access to the resources and education needed to confront the challenges of climate change.
