CLIMATE ACTION

Prince George’s County is one step closer to creating a Climate Action Plan that will help our communities become more resilient to the increasing impacts of climate change. The Climate Action Plan aims to help the County reach its carbon emissions goal of 50% reduction by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. It provides recommendations on how Prince George’s County can invest in green infrastructure and programs, such as renewable energy, smart growth communities, low-carbon transportation, and resilient water systems. 

The draft Climate Action Plan was released for public comment until Wednesday, December 1, 2021. Visit the CAP page here.

Residents, organizations, businesses, and County-based entities can submit responses to the plan that can help create climate change resilient communities throughout Prince George's County. Join us at one of these meetings to have your voice heard!
