This is an informational update on staff's work since the Climate Emergency Declaration Resolution was passed in June 2020.

In June 2020 City Council declared a climate emergency through Resolution 2020-09.  The resolution accelerates sustained and meaningful action to address the climate emergency.  It identifies eight specific actions:

1. Dramatic increase in ambition to combat climate change
2. Commits to City-wide transition and climate emergency mobilization effort
3. Commits to educating residents and especially youth
4. Underscores the need for full community participation
5. Commits to keeping vulnerable communities at the forefront of decision making
6. Joins a nationwide call for mobilization
7. Advance goals of the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan
8. Calls on all governments to initiate a transition

Staff has been working with technical consultants and the Flagstaff community to advance the goals of the 2018 Climate Action and Adaptation Plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.
