Erie County Climate Action is Erie County’s green initiative to develop an equity-centered Community Climate Action Plan. The Plan will identify actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and help the community adapt to our changing climate.
Why Participate?
This is your opportunity to tell us your priorities and concerns when it comes to climate action and resilience, County and community practices, and policies related to climate change.

By participating, you can voice specific concerns and priorities for your neighborhood or other communities important to you.
