​Goals Stay in Focus

     

Two overarching goals will remain the focal points through the 2020 update:

  1. Mitigate the effects of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2% per year, ultimately leading to a total 80% reduction by 2050, and 
  2. Increase the resilience of our community to the effects of climate change.

Celebrating 10 Years of Progress

By 2019, all 95 actions and 23 high priority actions of the 2015 Climate Change Action Plan have been completed or initiated, a 100% success rate. 

Some actions are related to ongoing collaboration or maintenance of best-available data and rollover from one edition of the plan to the next. Others are project-based and can be updated with new ideas or priorities as community needs evolve.
