County staff has been working diligently to develop a plan to ensure that the county achieves carbon neutrality by the year 2050, in response to a Board of Commissioners goal in the county’s Performance Clackamas plan. Community and youth task forces have worked to identify initial climate actions, and the team is now seeking public input on those potential actions.

All members of the public and other stakeholders are encouraged to take the time to respond to the Planning for Climate Change survey available online. This survey is a bit longer than some you may have taken, but this is such an important topic for the future of our county that we hope you’ll find time to share your thoughts. It is divided into five sections by topic, so you can choose to answer questions for whichever topic(s) are of most interested to you.

The survey will be open through June 30. The survey results will be used to help craft the climate action plan that will be brought forward to the Board.
