This will be the 1st of many chances to be involved in the climate action plan for Everett, Washington. Click to enlarge.
Global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are changing the climate in ways that threaten the vitality, livability, and prosperity of the Everett community. The City of Everett is projected to encounter changes in temperature, rain and snowfall, sea level, and flooding frequency. The City is committed to reducing local GHG emissions to help stabilize the global climate. This community-level Climate Action Plan (CAP) is the first of its kind for the City of Everett. It provides a long-term vision and strategic roadmap for reducing GHG emissions and preparing for climate change in the City. This CAP represents the first phase of an ongoing and evolving process.
