Local Climate Action in Oregon

The global climate crisis is one of the most serious threats facing us today and action must be taken at every level of government. Local planners have a key role to play in helping to mitigate climate change impacts and to ensure our communities adapt to a changing climate. In Oregon, several cities and counties have developed Climate Action Plans for reducing the generation of greenhouse gases and for addressing the potential risks and hazards that rapid climate change can pose to local communities. In this webinar, speakers from the Cities of Portland, Corvallis, and Milwaukie will share their insights into the purpose, process, and challenges of local climate action planning--including integrating climate policy into other local planning and sustainability efforts, giving extra attention to equity and social justice, and the challenges of turning plans into action.
