Help Pima County & the UA develop Climate Action Plans

In line with the urgency of climate change effects, key regional entities are adopting ambitious, actionable climate plans.  In May of 2022, Pima Community College approved their Climate Action & Sustainability Plan, and the City of Tucson approved Tucson Resilient Together on March 7, 2023.  

The University of Arizona and Pima County have been at work, too, and wish feedback on their respective plans, aiming for completion in early 2024.

Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts with both institutions:

Climate Pollution Reduction Plan Survey

The Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) is seeking input from Pima County residents on priorities that can strengthen our clean energy economy, enhance workforce training opportunities, and effectively reduce greenhouse gases while also addressing environmental injustices in disadvantaged communities. Please take this survey to help develop the Pima County Climate Pollution Reduction Plan.

Survey here:

More info from PDEQ

You may have seen in the news (10/16/23: https://www.kold.com/2023/10/17/pima-county-wants-public-input-fighting-climate-change/) that Pima County DEQ has accepted a $1 million non-competitive grant from the U.S. EPA to develop plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and other harmful air pollution in our region.

 

The goal is to develop a durable and ambitious plan with community leaders that is reflective of our communities’ needs, will strengthen our clean energy economy, enhance workforce training opportunities, and effectively reduce greenhouse gases while addressing environmental injustices in disadvantaged communities.

 

Please, take the Climate Pollution Reduction Plan Survey and spread the word to others. They would like to learn from the people within Pima County borders including the most vulnerable and underserved communities.
