Community Climate Conversations

The County is dedicated to creating sustainable, environmentally friendly communities for all residents. To support community-driven ideas, we collaborate with local partners to build stronger connections between our agency, community members, and other climate champions. These efforts focus on advancing programs and projects that make our communities safer and more livable, while also addressing impacts of climate change.

The County’s Regional Decarbonization Framework sets a vision for achieving zero carbon emissions by mid-century. Central to achieving this vision is building ideas and projects that are important to you and your community, and help all of us in the region feel safe, be healthy, and thrive.

The County is hosting Community Climate Conversations with the goal to:

• Understand your community’s priorities
• Co- create community-led climate projects
• Amplify your priorities and projects through steps to achieve them
  

Together, we're turning ideas into actions!  Ideas shared at these engagements will be used by County departments and local partners to help plan future climate work, apply for funding, and the story of how our communities are building a more resilient future.

The Community Climate Conversations are supported by our local partners Climate Action Campaign, Urban Collaborative Project, and Bayside Community Center.
