Welcome to the Kingston Climate Action Plan survey!

Our world is experiencing rapid change that is impacting the City of Kingston in many ways. What we can control is how we protect our local environment for future generations.
 
Kingston has come far already, becoming the first city to earn a Silver certification for NY's Climate Smart Communities program in 2020. We're taking concrete steps to establish community-based goals toward a sustainable future. Based on your input, we'll create a plan that fulfills all of our community's needs and create a better future.

We are seeking feedback from community members to create the next phase of Kingston's Climate Action Plan - a plan that will lead to a sustainable future by 2030.

Your input is needed because this plan is meant to incorporate all the voices of our communities. We want to know what your priorities are and make sure this plan is a community action. The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete, but will provide valuable information for how to guide our city's climate future. Please share this link so that others may participate!

As thanks for completing the survey, you will be eligible to receive a $25 gift card from Hannaford. To be entered into the raffle, please provide your email at the end of the survey.
