Grand Marais seeks public feedback on proposed Climate Action Plan

 The City of Grand Marais is asking for public input on its Climate Action Plan.

The city council passed a Climate Inheritance Resolution in 2017 and began developing a Climate Action Plan that is intended to: “significantly reduce Grand Marais’ greenhouse gas emissions to levels that would protect our community’s children and grandchildren from the risk of climate change.”

In 2018, a coordinator was hired to develop the plan along with a steering committee of community members, business owners, city officials, and local youth.
 
A Climate Action Plan, or CAP, is a roadmap that identifies a city’s carbon emission levels and aims to reduce them sustainably.
 
The Climate Action Plan steering committee has prepared a draft of the plan and is seeking public input before presenting it to the Grand Marais City Council for approval.
 
City Communications Director Patrick Knight said, “Your feedback is much appreciated and will be considered in the final draft of the Climate Action Plan.”
 
The Climate Action Plan and survey are available on the city’s website.  

If you have any questions, please call Patrick Knight at 218-387-1848.
