North Yarmouth is creating its first Climate Action Plan and we want your input!
Please join us at 5:30 pm on Thursday, July 18th, 2024 for the accompanying Climate Action Forum at Wescustogo Hall.
This survey's purpose is to determine the top priorities for the North Yarmouth community related to reducing emissions, building community resilience, and mitigating the impacts of climate hazards.
Climate change is caused by an excess of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases are released from human activities, including burning oil and gas for heating buildings or driving cars. Climate change also impacts every aspect of our communities, including public health, road safety, and access to quality food. To reduce NY’s emissions and the impacts from climate hazards, preparations should be taken across the community.
The draft Climate Action Plan is organized by five categories:
Municipal Operations
Buildings & Energy
Transportation & Land Use
Resilience, Public Health & Natural Resources
Food & Waste Systems
Indicate the level of importance of each draft strategy listed within each category by selecting it as high priority, medium priority, low priority, non-priority or neutral.
