You helped shape the Climate Investment Plan
We are grateful for your commitment to strengthening the CIP by giving us feedback throughout this process. Creating an equitable Climate Investment Plan (CIP) requires meaningful participation from the community. We received public comment submissions via listening session, online survey, and email from community members, nonprofit organizations, business owners, educational institutions, and government institutions. We also held two community review panels. These included community voices most impacted by climate change.
Our process
We read through all feedback from the various outreach efforts. We've incorporated changes that balanced:
- Community need and empowerment.
- Greenhouse gas reductions or sequestration.
- Implementation feasibility.
Every member of our team read each comment we received with careful consideration. Changes that we incorporated were aligned with the scope and mission of PCEF. We recognize your valuable time and effort in this process.
