Project Overview

Lane County is developing a comprehensive county-wide Climate Action Plan (CAP) that will outline goals and strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order for the CAP to represent the needs and concerns of Lane County residents, the County is conducting a robust public engagement process. Lane County began this engagement process in September 2020 by conducting a survey to understand how residents want to learn about and participate in the development of the plan as well as their initial priorities for the plan.

Mark your calendar!

Starting June 28, 2021 through July 31, Lane County will be hosting opportunities to get involved. This engagement period will allow everyone in the Lane County community who is interested to share their thoughts and ideas on a draft plan framework that will be a high-level version of the Climate Action Plan (CAP). Using the feedback from the public engagement period and the results of technical analysis, Lane County will write a full plan that is responsive to the needs and goals of the Lane County community.

Engagement opportunities will include:

Stakeholder Interviews with Historically Marginalized Communities

As a priority for Lane County, we will be engaging directly with residents who already experience greater barriers to public engagement through stakeholder interviews. This is an effort to support relationship building with these communities.

Online Open House and Survey

Starting June 28, learn more about the project and share your ideas about the draft plan framework using our online survey tool. The survey will remain available through July 31.
