Attend a Climate Justice Plan Community Forum
As part of our continued commitment to community engagement and outreach, we will be hosting a series of twelve community forum events to discuss the strategies and metrics for each of our draft Climate Justice Plan goals. We aim to bring together community partners, industry experts, County technical staff, and any other interested parties to help strengthen the goal's strategies and metrics and narrow the County's specific commitments to focus on actions with the highest impact on equity, justice, and carbon reduction. We will be using the feedback from these events, in addition to the community feedback we have received, to finalize the Climate Justice Plan that will serve as a roadmap and regular reporting framework for the County's climate justice journey.
We invite you to join us in-person or via Zoom for each goal's event, whether you are a subject matter expert or interested community member. Below, you will find the date, time, and location for each goal forum, along with their respective materials to help you prepare and participate.
