Just in time for Earth Day, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter is rolling out a Climate Action and Resilience Plan to address climate change.

On Friday, Carter announced three community forums in which residents can hear an overview of the plan and discuss what can be done to reduce carbon emissions.

“Preparing St. Paul for the negative impacts of climate change will require urgent collective action,” Carter said in a news release. “We have laid out ambitious goals.”

The city hopes to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and cut emissions in half by 2030.

Times and locations for community forums are as follows:

6:30 p.m. April 23 at St. Paul City School, 643 Virginia St.

6:30 p.m. April 29 at Eastside Freedom Library, 1105 Greenbrier St.

6 p.m. May 13 at Neighborhood House, 179 Robie St.

In addition to city-sponsored events, the city is willing to present the plan at district council meetings, church congregations, business groups and community organizations over the next few months.
