Climate Forward SLC

PUBLIC SURVEY CLOSED - Our public survey closed on November 4th. Thank you for taking our survey! 

PROJECT OVERVIEW

We are updating SLC’s climate plan to build on our accomplishments, respond to new challenges, and identify key priorities for the next five years. This work is guided by the Council-adopted goals of 100% renewable energy for our community by 2030 and an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 (compared to a 2009 baseline).

The updated plan and the short-term priorities it identifies will help guide City staff, investments, and partnerships across key areas like energy, buildings, transportation, and waste. We’re also working to strengthen community health in our hotter, drier climate—looking at things like food system resiliency, water, and green spaces.

Finally, we’re exploring how these efforts can support more affordable living and help grow a strong economy with good jobs and a well-trained workforce.
