Climate Emergency Workplan

Project
City Council declared a climate emergency in 2020 and directed City bureaus to restore a safe climate for all Portlanders, especially communities of color and those most at-risk to impacts of climate change. This Workplan lays out the priority actions we must take over the next three years.
