Climate Action Plan Summit

Climate change is upon us. We have an opportunity to act and address this challenge together. Milwaukie is creating a Climate Action Plan that will put us on a path to climate preparedness and reducing carbon emissions. The Climate Action Plan will include opportunities for people who live and work in Milwaukie to take action and preserve the things we hold dear. Taking on this challenge allows us to create a stronger local economy, take care of vulnerable community members, and maintain our quality of life.

Be a part of the climate planning process! Please join us on May 31 for a Climate Action Summit. The Summit will include opportunities to learn about climate change, discuss your thoughts with your neighbors and city staff, and help refine strategies that will preserve what we love for current and future generations. Light refreshments, Spanish translation and childcare is provided.

You are a vital part of the Climate Action Plan. We need your thoughts and ideas to identify the best strategies possible. We hope to see you, your neighbors, friends and family at the Summit!
