Climate Equity Action Plan
When: Ongoing. Survey currently live. Next public meeting TBD for January or February
What:
"The City is developing a Climate Equity Action Plan over the next year. This plan will improve upon the City’s existing emissions reduction goals set forth in Roseville’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2020, and develop additional goals to align with or exceed the State of Minnesota climate framework and Ramsey County climate goals. The City’s current goal is to reduce city-wide emissions by 80% by 2050, relative to 2005 levels, which now lags behind the goals of the state and other neighboring cities."
