City of Mankato seeking input on Climate Action Plan
The City of Mankato’s Climate Action Plan will be a roadmap to reduce local contributions to the causes of climate. Throughout this process, the City will be looking for opportunities to take action, such as decreasing emissions from buildings and transportation. The overall intended benefit is the improvement of indoor and outdoor air quality through a reduction in contributions to climate change.
The Climate Action Plan, which is funded through a grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), has several phases:
- Community Engagement
- Transportation Assessment
- Ecosystem Assessment
- Community Resiliency and Vulnerability Evaluation
- Infrastructure Energy and Efficiency Assessment
- Community Health Assessment
- Community Economic Assessment
- Final Report
We want your input as we work through the phases in the coming months. We are looking for involvement from residents, businesses, organizations and stakeholders who are interested in contributing to the development of the Climate Action Plan. There are several opportunities to share your ideas. The initial community engagement will be held on March 18 at the Intergovernmental Center. Additional engagements will be held in the coming months. You can also share your thoughts on Every Voice Mankato. Please consider attending an in-person event and/or participating in the online community.
