NOACA Climate Action Public Input

NOACA has organized a series of public input meetings for the NOACA Climate Action Plan, which is important work to help Northeast Ohio plan for climate change impacts, incorporate them into infrastructure and planning decisions, and position our region to qualify for climate mitigation funding. 

This plan is very important and worthy of support. It not only will help our individual communities be more successful in our own efforts, but also helps our individual efforts be more successful by helping us to coordinate and scale up regionally. Alone, we can take meaningful action; together, we can make even greater strides.

Please attend and speak during public comment—and spread the word to others who can join you in supporting this plan. Below is a list of three remaining county-wide meetings and the Board Meeting.
