READ THE DRAFT CLIMATE ACTION AND ADAPTATION PLAN - Throughout 2022, the City worked to develop a climate action and adaptation plan that will provide a strategic pathway to reduce the City’s emissions to net zero by 2030, explain the anticipated impacts of climate change across the City, identify the communities that will be most vulnerable to those impacts, and provide strategies that will assure that Tucson can adapt and be resilient to the impacts of climate change – now and in the future. The City has posted the draft climate action and adaptation plan, "Tucson Resilient Together," on the Climate Action Hub website linked below. The plan is open for public review and comments until Tuesday, Feb. 21. Use the link on that site to add your comments on the plan.
