Overview: The Town is developing its first Climate Action and Response Plan. We define “Climate Action” as the mitigation of carbon emissions for both Town operations and the community as a whole and “Response” as the adaptation needed for our changing climate. Given the urgency of climate change, the Town will work with a consultant that specializes in this area to identify the top 10 or more actions to generate the biggest positive impacts over the next five years. We will engage the community, our advisory boards and the Council to prioritize meaningful action steps by evaluating their potential benefits and costs across environmental, social, economic and public health criteria. This Plan is intended to be a lean and effective roadmap for creating real and positive change in our community over the next five years.
