how to get involved now:
Creating the City of Beloit Climate Action Plan
The City of Beloit has established a goal of achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040! The city is now developing a Climate Action Plan to guide action towards that goal, address climate impacts, and build community resilience. This strategic roadmap will engage stakeholders such as local businesses, government agencies, and residents to guide efforts in adapting to climate change and improving energy efficiency in the community. The plan is being developed through a collaborative, multi-stakeholder CAP Planning Team facilitated and supported by the City’s Climate Action Plan consultant, paleBLUEdot.
Beloit Climate Action Baseline Documents
A significant amount of research is currently been done as a foundation to the City’s work in preparing the Climate Action Plan.
