Staff:

Department:

Maurice Jones, Town Manager

Manager’s Office

Mary Jane Nirdlinger, Assistant Town Manager

 

John Richardson, Community Resilience Officer

 

 

Overview: Staff will present information about the Draft Climate Action and Response Plan <https://www.sustainchapelhill.org/featured/2020/2/18/climate-action-and-response-plan>, including themes from the feedback received to date and the staff’s recommended next steps. This plan charts a course for how our community can work together to reduce the emissions that cause climate change and build resilience to the stressors that come from a changing climate. We see this plan as the first of several five-year plans that will advance climate action in Chapel Hill while looking out to 2050 and beyond.

 

Recommendation(s):

That the Council receive the staff report and provide guidance on the staff’s recommended next steps, as needed (see Staff Report for details).

 

Fiscal Impact/Resources: There are no financial impacts associated with the staff’s recommendation.
