Local Climate Action Plans

All 62 municipalities in the Lehigh Valley need to develop robust and implementable climate action plans. These are plans that lay out the goals, policies, requirements and programs the municipality commits to implement to address climate change. They are very specific and include who, what, when, and how each action will be taken.

Following are some good resource materials for developing municipal climate action plans:

Every commercial entity, educational institution, church, hospital and other business or organization should incorporate climate action in their policies and programs.
