If you are interested in sharing input on local climate initiatives, please consider reviewing the Humboldt Regional Climate Action Plan and contributing your thoughts on the plan.
The County of Humboldt is collaborating with incorporated cities and community partners, including the Humboldt Waste Management Authority, Humboldt Transit Authority, Humboldt County Association of Governments and Redwood Coast Energy Authority, to release an updated draft of the climate action plan.
The purpose of the plan is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout Humboldt County. The plan examines strategies focused on reducing emissions from vehicle travel, electricity use, natural gas consumption and other sources of greenhouse gases at the local level.
The County of Humboldt's Planning & Building Department has released the Humboldt Regional Climate Action Plan for its 30-day public review period. The plan can be found at humboldtgov.org/climateactionplan. The public review period will run from Wednesday, Aug. 14 to Friday, Sept. 13. All interested community members are encouraged to review the document and share their input.
Written comments on the plan will be accepted by email to [email protected] or by mail to: Attn: Long Range Planning Division, Planning & Building Department, 3015 H St., Eureka, CA 95521, or shared with staff by calling 707-441-2634. Please indicate whether you reside in unincorporated Humboldt County or in an incorporated city so your feedback may also be shared with the jurisdiction you live in.
A public meeting to discuss the plan with the community will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 6 p.m. at the Wharfinger Building, located at 1 Marina Way in Eureka.
