Charlottesville, Albemarle County and the University of Virginia are requesting public comment and planning to hold public meetings as each institution updates their climate action plans.

Each organization is coordinating their outreach efforts across sustainability offices, according to a news release.

Community members can go to www.ClimateActionTogether.org to learn about specific participation opportunities, previous regional climate action efforts and more information about each organization’s efforts.

The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution in 2017 to reaffirm a commitment to address climate change. The county has said it will develop a climate action plan.

UVa is currently on track to meet a goal of lowering greenhouse gas emissions 25 percent under 2009 levels, according to information on the effort’s website.

Charlottesville is currently in process of setting targets for greenhouse gas reduction and conducting an assessment of the risk of climate change to the city. Between 2000 and 2016, the city reduced emissions by 10 percent, meeting its goal, according to Charlottesville City Council meeting minutes on Nov. 19, but staff suggested selecting a more ambitious target.
