I wandered into GitHub and Code4Sac recently with an idea. I don't write code but I'm interested in public access to government information. I'm looking for ideas, advice, examples and possible tools to initiate the following:

My idea is to increase public interest and action addressing climate change at the local level. Locally, we have city and county action plans. These documents are largely static and don't foster effective citizen participation & implementation.

I would like to deliver an app like "311" that would break these plans down for education and outreach, establish performance criteria and collect and report data based on public observations that feeds into monitoring and improving the effectiveness of these action plans.

I'm connected with 350Sacramento, a local non-profit organization which has held several town halls and other public events to increase public awareness and motivate citizens on climate change. This organization would seek sponsorship at local government, foundation, and private level to allow the completion of this project after the idea is better described based on existing examples and tools that demonstrate how this can be done. Based on preliminary review work these references appear to support and possibly fill some or all of the elements of this proposal. Contact has been made with one of the references below (SEEC) to find out if local government here participates in these efforts. There is no indication yet that is the case.
