Chicago continues to work toward creating resilient and sustainable communities across the city. Joining 96 cities around the world, the City of Chicago will update its Climate Action Plan to reflect the bold action needed to protect and strengthen communities- locally and globally. The updated climate goals will be designed to reduce carbon emissions while also increasing household savings, advancing environmental justice, and improving community health.
With historic investments coming in 2022, Chicago is ready to strengthen partnerships and programs across the city to expand access to green space, reduce carbon emissions, and connect residents to meaningful resources and services. Join the conversation by attending a virtual town hall or by sharing what you’d like to see in your neighborhood.
