“We are building a Climate Action Plan that reflects the priorities and wisdom of the people who live here,” said County Executive Sara Innamorato. “Your input will shape how we reduce emissions, bolster sustainable economic opportunity, create good local jobs, and make our communities healthier and more resilient.”
During the first phase of the planning process, staff from the Department of Sustainability engaged more than 2,400 people across 80 community events and meetings.
The County has also completed energy audits for major County facilities, carried out greenhouse gas inventories for County operations and the wider county, and completed an operational assessment to increase efficiencies in government.
There will be three online surveys during the Climate Action Plan process. A new set of survey questions will go live in mid-October at AlleghenyCounty.us/ClimateActionPlan. Residents who cannot attend a meeting in person or virtually are encouraged to provide feedback online or at any upcoming community event.
