Kansas City has unveiled a draft of its newest climate protection and resilience plan. Its main goal: reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing the impacts of climate change in Kansas City, including flooding and extreme heat, while maintaining a focus on equity. The plan’s goal is straight-forward: Achieve carbon neutrality in Kansas City by 2040. But this time the plan, unlike in previous years, focuses on achieving this goal through a lens of equity and resiliency. Community members are invited to share their thoughts on the plan through April 12. Comments can be submitted by emailing [email protected] or through the city’s landing page at https://playbook.kcmo.gov/CPRP-Mobilize. Any revisions will be made by the climate plan steering committee by April 25, and the final plan is set to go before City Council for a vote on May 4.
