Draft of Community Climate Plan

Post by Brandi Clark Burton »

The full draft of Austin's Community Climate Plan is now available for your review and for sharing with your constituents for feedback: http://austintexas.gov/page/community-g ... -emissions
This page includes project background info as well as the process and notes that led to this draft.

Please feel free to spread it far and wide.

A special email address has been established to accept feedback on the draft through April 10th: sustainability@austintexas.gov

On April 10, 2014, Austin City Council passed Resolution 20140410-024, which established a new long-term goal of reaching net zero community-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, or earlier if feasible. Office of Sustainability Climate Program staff started planning efforts to develop energy, transportation, waste, and industrial sector-based action plans to meet this goal, which includes collaboration with public experts, City departments, and public input plan.

Timeline going forward:
-> Collect comments until April 10th
-> Discuss comments and changes at the final steering committee meeting on April 15th and final draft should be ready by April 30th.
