Sustainability and Climate Action Strategy
Summary
HideWelcome! We want to hear from you.

Please review and submit your comments on this draft strategy between December 9, 2024 and January 10, 2025.
The Sustainability and Climate Action Strategy defines goals, strategies, and actions within six key focus areas. The implementation of this strategy is intended to help Cary citizens, businesses, and municipal government reduce GHG emissions and prepare for the impacts of climate change in partnership with regional, state, and federal agencies.
