Confronting Climate Change Together

Calling all unincorporated County residents to upcoming climate change planning workshops in June! The Office of Sustainability is looking for your feedback on the Community Climate Action Plan, which is designed to help us reduce emissions that lead to climate change. This is your chance to weigh in on a planning process for your neighborhood and community!

Not sure if you live in unincorporated County? Areas include: Emerald Hills, Broadmoor, Colma, Sequoia Tract, West Menlo Park, Menlo Oaks, and Pescadero. Visit this link to see if you live in an unincorporated area. (Everyone is welcome at this workshop, and we are especially trying to reach our unincorporated residents.)

The County’s Community Climate Action Plan will set goals and strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prepare for climate change impacts, and increase quality of life in unincorporated communities. The plan will address topics including:

  • The energy that powers our homes and other buildings
  • Improving indoor air quality of our homes
  • Reducing energy and water bills at home
  • Public transportation services including bus, train, and services that connect people to bus and train stations
  • Improving the walkability of urban environments and the safety of routes to school
  • Increasing sustainable practices, reusable materials and reducing waste.
  • Reducing climate related risks like wildfire, extreme heat and increased flooding.
  • What can we do together and what can we do individually to lead to a brighter future for our communities.

How would you like to see these things improve in your community? We’re hosting three online workshops for different areas of the County to dive into these topics and hear from you, so join in on this important conversation!
