For those unable to attend the open house, the draft plan will be available for public review and comment on the City’s website at http://urbanaillinois.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=0976904319da17e19c4386164&id=5472da5346&e=6487d76612 and residents are encouraged to fill out the webform on the website to file a public comment.

Background:
The City is working to reduce its environmental impacts (http://urbanaillinois.us/sustainability) while improving the quality of life and supporting economic vitality. The Draft Climate Action Plan will guide the community in the reduction of its energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions. The Sustainability Advisory Commission as well as public input have and will continue to guide the City towards the most beneficial and impactful climate change mitigation strategies.

The City has completed the first step of the Climate Action Plan by conducting a greenhouse gas inventory which is an assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions from various sectors (residential, commercial, transportation, and solid waste). With a proposed goal of reducing community greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by the year 2020, the Draft Climate Action Plan Phase 1 is a community-wide plan that identifies initial strategies to achieve this goal.
